The modern and thriving media and creative industries are fast-paced and competitive sectors, with jobs highly sought after by both graduates and school leavers. The BTEC Creative Digital Media Production qualification provides an exciting introduction to digital film and video production. It is designed to equip students with technical skills to work in the media production industry, such as single and multi-camera techniques, storyboarding, editing and film fiction production. The two-year course will involve a combination of assessment styles with a range of vocation assignments and tasks. Students will experience a ‘hands on’ approach to developing their own media production skills through access to advanced digital media technologies. They are taught to use industry standard software and encouraged to undertake a variety of practical projects throughout the year to be entered into national film competitions. The course is structured around the following units: 1. Digital Media Skills: Learners look at the creative digital media technical skills required to produce a product to a prescribed brief. 2. Film Production – Fiction: This unit will focus on the process of producing a short narrative film or film extract that uses generic conventions. 3. Storyboarding: Learners will develop their understanding of the role of storyboard designers before exploring storyboarding techniques and developing storyboards for media products. 4. Single Camera Techniques: This unit will explore the techniques needed to produce a single-camera production. 5. Film Editing: Learners will explore the purposes and techniques of editing for film and television and develop skills in different editing tools to produce a final, edited sequence. The BTEC course is designed to give young people a real taste of what it is like to work within the media industry and includes units such as a preproduction portfolio that teach students the skills required to work as part of a production team within a media industry, and use of digital software applications such as Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects.
The course is particularly suited to students who are creative and innovative, enjoy working collaboratively with others and embrace the world of digital technologies.
