Media Studies
SACE Stage 1
10 credits
In Media Studies, students apply skills to analyse and create different media products such as short film, documentaries and digital magazines. They are invited to explore the context of media production, and to analyse how words, images and sound are used to engage and influence audiences.
The delivery of the subject is organised around critical and creative thinking challenges that build the students' knowledge and understanding of media concepts and issues, using a 'learning by doing' approach. The challenges are designed to engage students in analysis, reflection and problem solving, developing their technical and transferable skills.
This course prepares students, who have an interest in media and creative arts, to explore the range of possibilities within this industry and also provides a solid foundation of knowledge and skills in communication, critical and creative thinking, media literacy and media production technologies.
