Curriculum Intent Statement
The intent within Media Studies is to tap into the prior interest students already have in the subject, even though few have studied it before. This is largely based on foregrounding the creativity and “fun” aspects of the practical side of the course, and making sure the unseen element of the course utilises modern and popular examples of media, whilst building upon the set texts. The subject also intends its students, through constant encouragement, to be motivated, to be independent, and always imaginative, in their dealings with real world media, and with the myriad representations of religion today.
