Media Studies GCSE at Shuttleworth encourages students to immerse themselves in media and explore how it shapes the world around them.
Year 11 students will continue to study a range of media forms from traditional print‐based newspapers to 1950s advertisements in comparison to 21st century advertisements, to contemporary films and television shows such as Spectre and Luther. Issues such as representation of gender or ethnicity in contemporary and historical media text allows them to understand societal issues and how these are addressed through media. Students also research, design and create their own media product from a set of Eduqas NEA briefs.
Year 10 students will study how advertisers and film target audiences through promotional material and film posters. They will study film industry and audience with a focus on ‘The Lego Movie’. Other media forms studied in Year 10 are music videos and magazines. Students will discuss issues such as representation and societal norms using media text. In the final term, students will research, design and create their own media product from a set of OCR NEA briefs.
