Samuel Ward Academy

Film and Media Studies

Media Studies is an interesting and dynamic course because it’s a mix of artistic, practical and English based analysis.

If you have an interest in film making then this is THE course for you. You will be taught how to use a video camera, set up shots, edit clips together to make a story and add music so that your film making slowly becomes much more professional.

Alongside this practical side, you will study film genres, from Thriller to Action and Adventure.

Your analytical tasks will consider how people are portrayed in the music industry and you’ll be given many opportunities to develop and share your opinions. It’s a hands on, high energy course.
