- Explanation of the key theoretical perspectives relating to Media Language, Representation and Audiences.
- Detailed focus on the named theories: Propp’s theory of Narrative, and Blumler and Katz’s Uses and Gratifications Theory.
- Application of theoretical perspectives to a range of media products, to reinforce key ideas and enhance understanding.
- Outline of social, cultural, historical and political contexts; and the exploration of different media forms and products in relation to these contexts.
- A range of activities to engage students and help extend their knowledge and understanding.
