Overview
In this component learners are required to study three media forms in depth,
exploring all areas of the theoretical framework - media language, representation,
media industries, and audiences - in relation to audio-visual, print and online
products set by WJEC. The forms to be studied in depth are:
Television
Magazines
Blogs and websites.
Learners will explore these three media forms through close analysis of the set
products, comparing their use of media language and the representations they offer
in relation to relevant social, cultural, economic, political and historical contexts.
Learners will study the role of media industries in shaping media products, as well as
considering the way in which both mass and specialised audiences are targeted and
addressed. Relevant and advanced theories will inform study of the set products and
learners will reflect critically upon these theoretical perspectives
