Media Studies

What is it?

The study of:

  • TV
  • Film
  • Music
  • Newspapers
  • Magazines
  • Games
  • The Internet

and advertising

Have a look at this trailer for The Age of Ultron.

It is an example of what we call a Media Text:

In Media Studies, we learn to look past the obvious. When we look at a trailer like this, we will be asking:

  • What is the purpose of the trailer?
  • Who is it aimed at, and how do we know this?
  • What has been done to make the trailer familiar?
  • What has been done to make the trailer exciting?

Media is for people who don't like to take things at

face value. People who like to question.

It gives you the skills to be able to think for yourself

and make your own decisions on which media

messages to accept and which to ignore.

And when we're surrounded by media messages.

it's important not to be sucked in.

And because so many people DO get sucked in,

we get to question whether these messages

have a duty to be responsible.
