Is this a Mickey Mouse subject? 

Yes. With companies like Disney reaching every corner of the earth and making global profits in the billions, the power, influence and effects of the media are certainly worth studying. Taking Media Studies requires an inquisitive mind and is suitable for anyone who asks questions about the world in which we live.

You will study the following: 

• How various media products are constructed;
• Why media products are made and who they are made for;
• The effects media products have on society and culture;
• The power of the media and the people behind it.

Lessons will involve analysing media products from broadcast, print and e-media platforms. We learn how and why they are constructed, in order to make our own products and to evaluate the effects of this mass communication on the audience and society.
