Media Studies (Y13)
Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: Bronwyn Polaschek.
Students will look at film and audience theory, media’s role in society and pursue areas of their own interest within media. Students will learn how media messages are a construction of reality, not reality itself through the study of Reality Televison and representation in the Media, and will put theory into practice in their own media production of short films or magazine articles. This course will help students to transfer media literacy skills across different subjects and see beyond the screen.
