This course enables students to develop personal visual responses and technical knowledge using ideas stemming from a range of stimuli. This is through the medium of photography. Photography involves a range of unedited and software manipulated imagery. They will learn about how to effectively take a photograph, the skills required to do so with lighting, staging and camera techniques and how they can experiment and display them in a variety of traditional and modern ways. They would learn about portrait, landscape and still life photography, documentary and photojournalism photography, photo manipulation, fashion photography and still and moving image.
For all Sixth Form courses, students must have five GCSE (or equivalent) passes at Grades 9-4, which must include Mathematics and English Language/Literature at a Grade 4 or above. A Grade 4 in Art is desirable but not essential (if taken at GCSE). If no previous creative experience, students will need to show the Head of Department a sample of their photography work they have done recently.
Component 1 NEA (coursework) 60% Component 2 EXTERNALLY SET TASK (Exam) 40%
