Curriculum Overview
Contemporary society is media-saturated, with multi-national media institutions shaping our perceptions of ourselves and the world around us. From economical to environmental factors, trends, socials and immediate news reporting, everything is now at the click of a button or a tap of the finger.
In this context, a variety of literacy skills are needed to explore fully and enjoy the range of media texts now in circulation.
To this end, the OCR Media Studies course equips pupils both with the language necessary to analyse media texts, criticise perspectives and the technical skills needed to create their own media content.
