Looking to move into the exciting world of digital media? In a constantly changing and progressing area of study establish your credentials of understanding how media producers create meaning and messages as well as producing your very own short film or film extract! Learners will consider how different media representations are constructed by media producers to create meaning, messages and values. Alongside this, learners will focus on the process and producing of a short narrative film or film extract that uses generic conventions, carrying out essential pre-production tasks and creating a pre-production portfolio based on a project that has been commissioned. This is the perfect course for those with an interest in how media affects us in everyday life and those wanting to pursue further education and careers in the creative media industry, whether it is directly related to film any of the other media sectors.
