October update: Textbook and more

It's been an action-packed start to the year in Media and now is a good time to take stock and go through some key messages and updates.

Media Awards

As we have mentioned in class, this year’s Media Awards has been moved to March as a result of the new specifications in GCSE and A Level Media. The good news is that the March show looks likely to be jam-packed with amazing work including:
  • Last year’s GCSE music videos 
  • This year’s GCSE science fiction TV drama extracts 
  • This year’s A Level film trailers 
We’ll have more information about the Media Awards nearer the time but it’s looking likely to be our best event yet!



GCSE Media Textbook

After a long delay, there is now a textbook available for the new specification AQA GCSE Media Studies course. We would strongly recommend you buy this as it covers the whole course in terms of subject content and also features many of the CSPs that will come up in the exams.

For a 20% discount on the advertised price of £24.99 you can order through the Illuminate Publishing website and use the discount code DISC20 at checkout. Offer ends 31/10/18.
