Course Description Recommended Prior Learning

Year 12 Media Studies is recommended but it is not compulsory for entry into this course. 


Students will undertake a film study using narrative, technical, psychological or sociological approaches, as well as exploring recent Media industry developments, before embarking on a Media production project. This will be either a narrative or documentary short film. Students can pursue this project on their own in a group of up to three students. Guest speakers from a range of media industries will provide students with valuable insights and tips for entering those fields. Guests in 2024 included a radio broadcaster, a print journalist, a documentary director, and a feature film producer.
