The new Media Studies website has been set up to support students and teachers of AS and A2 Media Studies. We have looked very carefully at all the specifications, AQA, OCR and WJEC at AS and A2 level, and have pulled out all the key concepts and topics that you will need.

These divide into categories such as study skills and research methods, Film Language, British Cinema, Censorship, Hollywood, Documentary, Newspapers and Magazines, Advertising and Marketing, Politics and Sport in the Media, the Music Industry and Radio.

We have divided each category into sub-headings with their own range of specific websites, for example, Narrative and Genre under Film; the portrayal of Disability in the Media and Youth under Representation.

Each website has been selected for its accessibility, its information and its links to further resources. The descriptions of the websites are clear and indicate how they might be used in terms of assignments and specifications.

Good luck in your exams!
