The document outlines a learning schedule for an OCR AS Level Media Studies course. It is divided into three sections: 1) covers foundation portfolio work including thriller conventions, audience research, and developing ideas; 2) focuses on audiences and institutions, addressing topics like media ownership, cross-media convergence, and new technologies; 3) examines TV drama through lenses like camerawork, editing, representation of gender, age, sexuality, ability, social class, region, and ethnicity. Students will complete tasks like blogging, editing videos, and case studies to build understanding before preparing for exams.
