This Media Studies course challenges and empowers students to analyse and interpret media content, to become more informed and to think critically about the media and its role in everyday life. There is an opportunity to develop and create their own media product based on the brief 'the day in the life'. Students will learn how narrative is created in a television series and explore how representation of groups is created. They will develop understanding of the relationship between a media product like a television show and its target audience.
