Denny High Media Studies
The Media course allows pupils to strengthen and consolidate their language literacy skills while also introducing them to media literacy skills. Pupils will be given a variety of opportunities to analyse texts in different media formats while developing their awareness and understanding of creating media texts for specific purposes and target audiences.
As part of the course, pupils will also be required to apply the knowledge they have gained to create their own media texts to appeal to specific target audiences and achieve different purposes. Pupils can engage with various different types of media communication including film, radio, trailers, adverts and many more.
