The aims of the course are to: • develop theoretical and technical knowledge; • develop an understanding that underpins key skills required in the production of media texts; • develop professional and social skills through interaction with performers, clients and peers; • encourage creativity through the design and production of media products. Over the two years, you will complete 12 units. Three of these units are external assessments, whilst the other nine are internally assessed through the completion of practical projects. The 12 units are diverse and span a range of moving image and audio production pathways including advertising, short films, music videos, and sound production. The majority of assessment is through coursework, so will require you to have the ability to meet tight deadlines. From the outset, you are assessed at A level standard, so expectations are high but you will receive excellent support from both teaching and technical support staff.
