Did anyone on here do this? My daughter's taking it as one of her 4 A levels this coming September and it would be nice for me to know more about it and be able to help at times.
Muchas Gracias .. Saffy ;D

Yeah, I have done it since GCSE. I just got AAA in my AS-Exams and am now taking it at A2. It really depends on which school she goes to and what exam board they use which shall affect the course. I think I have used AQA at AS Level. We examine: - Documentaries from the early 20th century to the modern day. - Film and Broadcast Fiction. It is really fun if you enjoy the media. You analyse programmes and films which is actually very enjoyable. At my school we also undertake a coursework assignment in which we make a film/ produce a short radio programme or design a magazine. I chose to make a film. Like I say, it really depends on what exam board she studies under. You can help by making her watch TV over and over  |

(Thanks for your reply) Thank you, gald to see it is AQA as they are the best. I worked under WJEC for a while which wasn't as great but still really fun. As long as she has the passion for media all will be good. The coursework is also great fun! Like I say, any more help just PM me. |

I took an A level Media Course, a Film one too... perfect combo. I also worked helping with the technical side of a Media course for a year. I'd highly recommend it, it helped me hugely, and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
