You will produce two portfolios over the course of this A Level. Throughout the course you will develop your photography skills and understanding of different photographers and their styles through the study of a series of smaller topics such as Photojournalism, Movement, Forced Perspective and Film Noir. You will become a highly adept and confident photographer, able to analyse an image confidently using a range of specialist terminology. You will become knowledgeable of a range of different photographers and styles and use this to develop your own photography skills across different platforms (digital and practical editing). Students who take Photography become independent learners; skilled at setting their own titles, deadlines and outcomes.
Grade 5 or above in English Language. GCSE Photography or Art is desirable but not essential.
Component One (Personal Investigation) is an in depth study of a topic of your choice. You will use existing photographers to develop your knowledge and then emulate their work through your own interpretations and style. This is worth 60% of the A Level. From the 1st February of Year 13, titles are released by Eduqas for the Component Two: Externally Set Assignment (worth 40% of the A Level). You then have a preparatory study period in which you choose your title and prepare your response in the form of critical, theoretical and practical work. You then have a 15-hour period of sustained work in which to realise your production, linking your planning to your outcomes.
