Media curriculum and student gallery
Year 10 Media Term 2
Media and communication is the world's fastest growing industry and is an area of rapid and continuous change. The media entertain, educate, inform and provide channels of communication, which influence the way people, spend their time and help shape the way they think of themselves and others. We live in a world, which is increasingly saturated with media images, representations and new media technologies. The Year 10 Media course provides students with an exciting opportunity to learn about the nature of the Media and to gain a range of media production skills to communicate effectively and creatively. This course gives students the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of various media forms and to develop and apply media production skills. It encourages students to utilise their media skills to create and make media productions and explore and respond to media conventions
Course Aims
