For this video, I asked a bunch of media studies, creative media, and film studies teachers why they thought it was such an important subject, and here's what they said!
Whether you are considering taking media studies at GCSE or A-Level, there is whole world of analysis in understanding for you to uncover - from appreciating diverse representations, to the impact of ownership by mega corporations such as Disney.
I am a media teacher in the South West of England - if you like this video, check out further media related videos on my chaneel.

I'm a Media Student at university and I love your videos, I like media because it has endless possibilities, it combines perfectly with curiosity and creativity. Social, psychological, critical thought and tech studies all in one. Couldn't be a better study field of you are madly curious about society and have artsy passions or hobbies, keep up the good work 😊

[@TheMediaInsider]

I totally agree! And thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for posting: Your content has been supplementing curriculum in my Digital Media classes at the high school level. We especially loved your storyboarding walkthrough of the Jurassic Park scene. Quality!

[@ianto8823]

Says a lot about your teacher. They are wasting your time of THEY are showing you KZbin videos in your classes.

[@Sullycs2]

I plan on going back to college this upcoming semester for spring. And when I was looking at the programs the college was offering media arts just really stood out to me. It peeks my interest a lot

[@TheMediaInsider]

I know I'm biased but I think it should be essential study for all students

Well, Looking for a subject as an elective and you've convinced me.

[@pulkitchaudhary5412]

Hey Mr. Hunter I am a student of media and journalism in the University of Delhi. Currently I am pursing my bachelor's here in India. For my Master's degree in the same field I plan to study abroad. Can you tell some insight about the media industry in your country and the media education and some good colleges that would be great for foreign students. I'll be highly thankful if you could tell about the jobs and career growth in media sector in your nation.

[@kekamirza]

Does media study includes music? Or It's more about film? I'm looking for a masters or phd program abroad that suits my interest. I'm very interested in the program Creative Industries. Are these two programs similar? My bachelor is in Computer science and MA in Vocal music. I like visual and performing arts. Any advice will be very much appreciated. 🙏

Hey, I plan on studying A-Level media studies next year. Do you think I'll get on alright, having not studied media studies at GCSE. I love how the subject looks and I really want to study it.

[@aarenishere7426]

I studied creative media: games with Mr Hunter for my A-levels and I had a great time without having any GCSE experience! It should be easy to pick up without prior education on the topic, the hardest part for me was getting to know some of the things I needed to use such as Adobe and Photoshop as I'd never used them before. Watching videos on the topics and programs you'll need to use/understand could be a good head start if you're new media and aren't sure if taking the subject is for you yet.

Living in Sri Lanka) So, is language a barrier? 🤔Or will I be able to learn English as the time passes? My ambition is to become a teacher of communication and media studies in UK.

Hi I’m a student heading to University soon I wanted to know if Cinema and Media was a field I should go to mostly in regards to the kinds of Jobs I could look into etc

[@TheMediaInsider]

Totally down to your area of interest but I would recommend considering whether you want to go down the analytical route or production route as there are loads of courses in both areas.

[@SantiagoRodriguez-cs9ok]

WOW awesome vídeo, nivel channel

[@allegroconspirito4595]

Does media studies require very high level of English? my friends who chose media studies told me this is a very English-based subject, I really want to take media studies as one of my A Level subject, but I only got a C for IGCSE English First Language, will it be very hard to do media studies if I don't have a very high level of English?

[@TheMediaInsider]

It's difficult because there is a lot of language involved in newspaper analysis, which has a fair bit of. However I would encourage you to take it regardless as there is far more to the course than just that.

[@jhonatanhernandez3568]

As a newcomer to this, what would you recommend me to study in order to become media literate?

[@vinzentmalong8063]

Hi, I'm a Communication Arts student. And I have this Thesis Research about Neocolonialism on Films. On our Data Gathering, we need to Identify the representation of Neocolonialism in the Films Through cinematography. we mentioned on our paper our films. Can you show us how? Because I really cannot Understand Bordwell, well. Lol.

[@vinzentmalong8063]

i really cant Identify the Neocolonialism on the films. its hard for me. and it is really hard to identify it through the film's cinematography. lol.

[@TheMediaInsider]

I'd take a look at Black Panther - great example of representations of African communities

[@konnziatv7111]

I want to know the difference between film studies vs media ?

I'm kind of interested in studying media but has no enough knowledge what is it really.. Im wondering what natural skills ,personalities, hobbies should you have even before having real knowledge from school about media.. can anyone enlighten me??

[@TheMediaInsider]

Obviously I'd highly recommend it! I think the best thing about studying media is that it equips you with the skills necessary to navigate the garage of media we have thrown at us int he 21st century

[@sojunglee6061]

@@TheMediaInsider do you have to be already creative or someone that is passionate about photography before taking it or those skills, like creativity and understanding or being able to interpret the visuals shown in music videos can be learned through studying? i only know about myself is that it really looks interesting and fun to study and it would be great to produce meaningful videos and/or be part of those people who make it..

[@TheBebelehaut]

I understand you study media but what you really mean is you study movies or the CINEMA, right? I am a founder of an art movement and we study and pursue the idea of a New Cinema. It's based on a re-definition of the traditional cinema screen and is officially called DNS Cinema (or RefLEX Cinema.) It's not just theoretical work on narration - we actually have developed a new type/family of lens and believe this notion of a new cinema is hard. i.e. Real.
