What skills do I need?

 

A BTEC First Diploma is the equivalent of four GCSEs grade A*-C as a result, this course will only be open to the most motivated students.

 

Students need to be organised and interested in the world of media.  An ability to be creative and enthusiastic is vital.

Forms of Assessment

 

Assessment is by coursework and candidates will have to produce a final product for each unit.

Entry Requirements

 

The course will be ideal for those who have studied GNVQ or BTEC Media, but can be completed by those who have a keen interest in the Media Industry and are prepared to work on their own initiative and in different groups. Candidates who have produced their own films, websites  or electronic music in the past are particularly welcomed.

 

Progression Routes

It will be appropriate to those preparing to work as: web designers, graphic artists, multimedia producers, animators, sound designers and editors, video producers, games designers and storyboarders.
