Film / Video / Television Production

Assessment

We are offering the course in two strands this year. Our double award is equivalent to 2 A-Levels and is designed to give you a technical understanding of film and television production. Our triple award is equivalent to 3 A-Levels and provides learners with a wide overview of all media industries. You will gain knowledge and skills in areas such as single- and multi-camera techniques, lighting, sound recording and editing to produce practical film and television projects. The qualification is for post-16 learners and is intended as a two-year programme of study, normally in conjunction with one or more qualifications at Level 3. It is aimed at students looking to progress to employment in this sector. During your lessons there is a high expectation of attendance and punctuality, and that deadlines are kept throughout the course. A number of media studies trips are also planned throughout the year to places such as the SKY Academy, BBC studios, BBFC and the museum of advertising and branding. As a media student you will have the option to plan and complete a work experience placement in the media industry. Previous placements have led students to summer work and contacts for the future in their chosen field.
