Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Courtney.

Step behind the scenes and discover the magic of media in this exciting Year 10 Media Studies course! In the first half of the year, you'll dive deep into the world of film—learning how directors use camera angles, lighting, sound, editing, and mise-en-scène to tell powerful stories and create meaning on screen. From Hollywood blockbusters to indie gems, you’ll learn to watch films with a critical eye and uncover the techniques that shape what we see and feel.

In the second half of the course, it’s your turn to take the reins. You'll plan, create, and produce your own media projects—whether it's a stop-motion animation, a gripping photo essay, a compelling podcast, or a short film. You’ll get hands-on experience with industry-standard editing software and professional-grade equipment, bringing your creative vision to life. Whether you're behind the camera, behind the mic, or in front of the editing suite, this is your chance to explore the power of media and tell your own stories.
