About the course
This vocational course is focused on helping you to develop a range of media skills, as well as a knowledge and understanding of the UK film and TV industry, in preparation for pursuing a career within the field of moving image.
You will learn the skills and craft of film-making, with a large focus on improving your skills in camerawork, editing, sound recording, animation/post-production and lighting. Students are expected to generate their own project ideas and you will be strongly encouraged to work towards your individual career goals, be that becoming a movie director, a YouTube star, a writer, a freelance videographer or any other career path the film and TV industry has to offer.
The media department has four Mac Bay media suites, a TV studio and edit suites, and is well equipped with professional recording and photography resources.
This Level 3 course is based at our dynamic and exciting WISE Campus, located within easy reach of the city of Bristol and moments away from Bristol Parkway and Bristol Abbey Wood train stations.
Maths & English
A key requirement for obtaining many jobs is to achieve a good standard of English and maths. Therefore, learners that do not yet have a GCSE grade 4 (C) in these subjects will be enrolled on either a GCSE or functional skills course alongside their main study programme.
What do I need to join
To join this course, applicants must have either:
Five or more GCSEs at grade 4/C or above, including at least one in English or Maths
Or
A relevant Level 2 Diploma, plus at least one GCSE at grade 4/C in English or Maths.
Applicants should also have a keen interest in the subject, be committed and punctual, and show enthusiasm for learning new skills.
Applicants will be invited to an interview and will be invited to bring in a portfolio and/or undertake an interview task, more details of which will be found in our interview invitation.
What can I do next
It is expected that students from this course will be suitably prepared for entry-level employment within the creative industries, such as an apprenticeship or progression onto a degree-level course in a related discipline. Many students choose to progress onto the FdA in Media Production at the SGS School of Creative Industries.
