Course Summary

This course is designed for students who want to progress to our Level 3 courses in Media (Film & TV) or Graphics and Photography. Are you interested not only in playing visual media and communication, but in how these work, and how technologies such as social networks, graphics and video footage are changing the digital and creative industry.

Do you have an interest in the world of film/TV or podcast Broadcasting? If so, then this course is an ideal way for you to develop your knowledge and practical skills.

Taught at our brand new Digital and Creative Hub at Cauldon campus, opposite Staffordshire Univerity and Hanley Park, the course will help you to develop the knowledge and technical skills required to progress to Level 3 in Media, Gprahics and Photography or onto other Creative Media Production courses.

You will gain a solid foundation in media and design principles and technologies, will explore a range of software, including Adobe Creative suite (Photoshop and Premiere Pro) and techniques as well as learning how to develop your own ideas and designs.

How Is It Assessed

This course is assessed by continual assessment, and learners will need to research, plan and produce practical work. All assignments have interim assessment points, when the lecturer assesses the work and shows the student how to improve their grades. Students requiring any support in producing written work, organising themselves or managing their time can get the support of one of our mentors. All student work is moderated by the awarding body.

How Is It Taught

The course is taught by a team of specialist lecturers including working professionals, who aim to help you to gain the most from the course. You are also allocated a personal tutor who will guide you through the course as well as organising any support that you may need. The course is delivered through a mixture of practical workshops, lectures and self directed study.

What Could I do Next
