10MED - Media Studies

Do you enjoy creating stories in interesting and entertaining ways? Do you want to learn how to make films using professional movie making equipment and programs?

In Media Studies, you will learn about how different forms of media are created, and how to analyse and critique media from Aotearoa and the world. You will focus specifically on how media is produced to construct and shape messages about individuals and society in film and television.

This module is ideal if you have an interest in film making and media production, and want to think critically about the media you consume. You will work individually and collaboratively to plan, script, film and edit a short film. The emphasis of your learning is on practical hands-on learning, and creating engaging and entertaining content.
