Over the two-year course, you will focus on media products and their audiences, exploring how the media target, engage and affect their consumers, as well as building up an in-depth understanding of planning and pre-production, equipping you with the confidence to step up to real-world media industry work. Alongside these two large areas, the course includes a sequence of specialist units, each with a focus on a specific area of media industry skills and knowledge. These include: how to plan and pitch a media product successfully; the role of the script in media products (and how to write an effective one); making a film (from initial concept through filming an extract to post-production); and advertising campaigns (how they work and how to plan and produce one). Across the course you will acquire skills in planning, pre-production, scripting, cinematography, editing and digital imaging, as well as honing your own creativity. You will be using industry standard software right from the beginning to make your initial ideas become a reality!
To study vocational courses students must achieve two grade 5s at and three Grade 4s at GCSE as a basic entry level. Where students have studied vocational courses in KS4 they must achieve a Level 2 Merit or above to count within the five qualifications required. Each qualification may have some specific requirements, so please read this booklet carefully before you make your choices. It is highly recommended that you should have achieved a minimum of a Grade 4 in GCSE English Language or Literature. All applications will be treated on an individual basis.
There are two exams that make up 50% of the final grade, with the four internally examined units (coursework) making up the other 50%.
