Photography has consistently been one of our most popular subjects at ESA from Day 1. The long line of talented and unique image creators who have passed through this course now includes successful portrait photographers, event & wedding photographers, street photographers and graphic/UX designers. Our photography courses explore the intersections between photographic technologies, culture and artistic expression. There will be opportunities to try varying styles and mediums including analogue 35mm photography (developed on-site in our dark room) and digital cropped-frame/full-frame photography with post-production in Photoshop. Students will also learn to understand the core image-taking mechanics of modern photography through use of the exposure triangle. Use light-sensitive materials such and photographic film or digital cameras to create static or moving images. This is a GCSE that uses photography as an artistic medium and you will learn how to develop your own photographs and learn about other photographers. You will learn how to use Photoshop as well as learning more traditional methods. You will: Enjoy taking your own photographs, have an interest in other photographers, enjoy creating things, like experimenting, be willing to try new things.
This curriculum provides students with industry-relevant vocational training and all qualifications are UCAS eligible meaning that students graduated with high levels of UCAS points. Please note, our post-16 offer is a Level 3 provision. Therefore, in order to be considered for a place at Elstree Screen Arts Academy at Post 16, we require all students to achieve five 9-4 grade GCSE or equivalent (including English and Maths). We also require students to achieve a grade 6 or higher in a related subject to the area they wish to study at level 3.
Internal assignment. Fantastic and strange 60%. Externally set assignment 40%.
