L3 Media Studies

L3MDS
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs S. Curtis.

In this course students will develop their interest in the media as an industry and its cause and effect relationship with its audience. We will focus on exploring the way a media text can be read in different ways dependent upon the audience's own experience of the world around them. Within this course we will look at representation within the context of Aotearoa, aspects of genre and how to communicate ideas in different styles. A large portion of this course is dedicated to practical film making where students are challenged to plan, design, and produce a short film which requires a significant time commitment in Term 2.
