Spring teaching

This module builds from the skills developed in Analysing Media, Film and Music. It adopts a thematic approach to explore concepts and subjects such as:

• representation
• ritual
• protest
• voice.

Equipped with the analytical toolkit you developed in the autumn semester, you’ll demonstrate your understanding and engagement – as well as your critical and creative thinking skills – through a variety of music, media and filmmaking practices.
