Course summary

Representations: This unit covers the full range of media products from Gaming to TV with a specific look at the language we use in media (how products are created and presented), and the representations that are shown. This is a fundamental theoretical part of the course that is reflected in your production. Pre – Production: In this section of the course you will need to work towards a pre-set brief to provide work for a specific client. This is real world experience and acts as a professional taste of what different media industries do and the careers that you could pursue. You will work on the finance, operations and logistics of creating a media production, working with the local council and professionals in the industry. Responding to a commission: In this unit you will be set a commission or brief that you will need to respond to your previous learning and experience to fulfil the needs of the client. You will be committed to a full production from beginning to end creating a media product that satisfies the brief. Film Production (Fiction): In this section of the course you will be creating and producing a fiction film. You will run the process from the pre-production stage all the way through to the exhibition to the public.
