About the course

This one-year course gives you the chance to take on professional-style projects, find your creative strengths, and build the confidence to progress to higher levels of study.

Course content

This practical course focuses on real-world media projects that develop both your creativity and technical ability. You will complete:

  • Recreation of a Scene & Movie Poster – Work in groups to recreate a professional film or TV scene. You'll take on industry roles (Director, Camera Operator, Screenwriter, etc.), shoot and edit the sequence, and design a promotional poster
  • Creating a Media Presence – Build your personal or brand identity across digital platforms. You'll explore social media, design and marketing to understand how media professionals engage audiences.
  • News Report (Piece to Camera) – Research, script, film and present a news story. You'll learn reporting, interviewing and editing skills while gaining confidence on and off camera.
  • Final Major Project (FMP) – Plan and produce your own independent media project, showcasing all the skills you've developed. This is graded Pass, Merit or Distinction.

Throughout the course, you'll strengthen your skills in research, production, editing, teamwork and evaluation using industry-standard equipment and software.
