Teacher in Charge: Mr R. Irving.
Recommended Prior LearningWe interact with media everyday, from the social media on our phones, to the advertising we pass on the way to school, to the content we stream on our TVs. The 12MDS course is designed to critically examine the media that we encounter in our daily lives and challenge students with new media experiences. Students will create media in the form of a short film that competes for a distinguished place in the annual Macademy Awards. In addition, we’ll study a range of adverts, TV shows, and films, from NZ, Hollywood and international as well as debate media issues that arise across the year.
Suitable for students who enjoyed film studies in their English course. This course leads to 13MDS, an ‘approved subject’ for University Entrance.
