Photography is about looking, learning, thinking, and exploring ideas and using the camera to capture the world as you see it. Our course offers students the freedom to explore a wide range of ideas through the development of camera skills, photographic techniques, media and processes. The Photography A Level prepares students for producing and working with images, both digitally and physically and is a great way to develop general design skills. Students will develop their ability to appreciate the world around them, responding in a visual, personal and creative manner. Learners will broaden their knowledge of digital and analogue methods of photography, learning how to be successful in a studio or location environment, and working in a traditional photography darkroom.
Grade 5 or above in GCSE Photography. Alternatively grade 5 or above in GCSE English with strong IT skills and a portfolio of photographs
Students are assessed against 4 Assessment Objectives which are used to mark the 2 projects in a holistic manner. Students will be assessed on 2 components: Component 1: The Personal Investigation project (60% of the A Level grade) based on a theme chosen by the student, accompanied with a written assignment of between 1000 - 3000 words; Component 2: The Externally Set Assignment (40% of the A Level grade); this is finished in a 15-hour supervised period.
