You will examine the role of media in shaping
how we think, feel and act in an image-saturated world. The course blends
academic theory with hands-on production work, giving you the chance to create
your own media products while developing a deeper understanding of how media
influences culture, politics and attitudes.
In the first year, you will study radio
production and learn how sound communicates meaning. In the second year, you
will create a short film using industry-standard software such as Final Cut Pro,
applying theoretical knowledge to practical projects. Each year, outstanding
student work is submitted to competitions, with previous projects exhibited at
The Corner House in Manchester.
Alongside practical study, you will develop
critical skills by analysing media texts, exploring representation, and debating
the social, political and cultural issues raised by film, television, print and
digital platforms. You will investigate questions such as: How powerful is the
media? How do images influence public opinion? Why do certain voices dominate,
while others are excluded? The course will challenge your assumptions and help
you refine your judgement, becoming more perceptive, analytical and articulate
in expressing ideas.
By the end of your studies, you will not
only be able to produce creative work but also critically evaluate the impact of
media on society, preparing you for further study or careers in the creative
industries.
