Media Studies (Y12)
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Bronwyn Polaschek.
Students will look at representation and audience theory, the media’s role in society, the relationship between a media product and its' audience, and pursue areas of their own interest within media. Students will put theory into practice in their own media production of either a magazine article or music video, and transfer media literacy skills across different subjects. This course will help them to see beyond the screen and read between the lines – to become ‘media literate’.
