This vocational course was designed by the media industry to produce the skills they look for. You will spend the majority of your time on practical projects, either producing the work or learning about the skills needed for working in a particular context. The course will include time in the TV studio as well as studying other specialist skills. If you are seriously interested in a career in the media industry then you should study this course, especially the Diploma. You don’t need to have done a practical media qualification such as a BTEC but you will find it helpful if you have. Enthusiasm for all things media is essential. There are four compulsory units: 1. Digital Media Skills. You have to make a media product in 20 hours following an externally set and marked task. 4. Film Production. You have to plan and make a short narrative film There are six optional units. We currently do: 1. Single Camera Techniques. You will shoot a video using one camera. 2. Multi-camera techniques. You will be part of the team running a live multi-camera mix of an event such as a performance. 3. Editing Techniques. You will edit a video you have shot using a single camera.
Grade 4 in English Language. Please see points 2 and 3 overleaf. Commitment to the subject is important for students to be successful.
Four of the units (eight for the Diploma) are assessed internally through a series of assignment briefs that clearly set out what you have to do, when you have to do it by, and how your work will be marked. The external units are tasks completed in school rather than a traditional exam. There is no final exam and you will need to keep up with all of the work during the course. There will be research, written work, group work, presentations, and practical work.
