at North Kent College, Dartford · college
What the college says
Equivalent to 3 A Levels, a total of 72-168 UCAS points, depending on grades achieved. This qualification teaches trainees 'real world' professional production pipelines with an emphasis on attracting audiences and consumers to the content they create. This course will suit students that are interested in a career in film and TV and want to progress to an industry level. Students will be required to fully understand and follow the codes and conventions of different media products in order to design, organise and create your own. The focus of this course is to give trainees hands on experience following industry-standard production processes, as well as technical and creative skills. Students will plan, film and edit a range of productions - this could include TV adverts, music videos, film trailers, documentaries, short films, campaign videos and more. They will also be encouraged to create narratives that show their individual perspective through story telling and use of film style. Whilst it is beneficial to have a media qualification, this is not essential, as long as applicants have passion and desire to explore the diverse subject of TV and film. However, it is preferable if applicants can demonstrate prior experience, for example through making their own videos as a hobby or having done work experience in a media environment. At the end of each year, students will complete a final project where they will be able to work on any type of media project within film or TV giv
