Media is one of the most powerful, influential tools that we have today. It influences everything we do: it shapes our opinions, attitudes, tastes, behaviour and what we find entertaining. It is also one of the key employment markets of the 21st century. The aim of these courses is to introduce the student to key ideas and strategies used in today’s media and how they affect us as individuals and a society.

We cover a multitude of Media based concepts and you will utilise those analytical skills through a variety of film production projects.

‘The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.’

    -Malcolm X
