Media in Focus

In this course you will explore how media and technology shapes the world we live in, our attitudes and behaviour. You will examine topics such as generational use of social media, the development of the teen film genre and create a music video. You will conduct a study of a New Zealand film with a focus on understanding the relationship between a media product and its audience. A research inquiry will also be undertaken analysing significant media developments throughout history and the impact of these on society.
