Media Studies

Media Studies at Sheldon Heath allows students to become critical explorers of the world around them. Students will study and produce short films, become skilled in the analysis of media language and they will develop an independent understanding of the media saturated world in which they live.

The course is available as a GCSE option at KS4 and an A level option at KS5. Media Studies will prepare you for a variety of careers as you will need to master a wide range of skills. Media Studies involves the study and creation of film, television, radio, newspapers, magazines and web pages.

Sheldon Heath’s Media Department is well resourced with a range of digital video cameras, PC and MAC editing facilities and access to ICT suites.

The GCSE course is designed to be a creative experience where you’ll develop the skills needed to work both individually and as part of a team. The A level course will allow you to expand your knowledge and develop your expertise in preparation for University or the workplace.
