Digital Media

Every day, from the moment you wake up to just before you fall asleep, you are bombarded by products from all kinds of different media companies - from streaming music and TV, clicking through YouTube, from adverts on bus shelters, from websites, apps, Snapchatting, Facebooking, Tweeting… there are media products everywhere. And if it's everywhere, you ought to understand who is making it, why and what they want from YOU. Media Studies gives you the tools to decipher all of the media that surround you, to understand where it comes from and how you can become a media producer yourself.

Student Quotes

'I've really enjoyed Media Studies since Year 10. It has given me the opportunity to do things I wouldn't have been able to before, like make music videos and analyse representations of social groups.' (Jack, Year 13)

'I've enjoyed the creative side of Media the most. I like using the equipment as a way of expressing myself other than in writing.' (Alex, Year 12)

'I like Media Studies because I can use the films, programmes and games I like as things to study. It makes it more interesting to spend time on these.’ (James, Year 10)
