What will I study?
- A1: Skills Development Portfolio
- You will explore and develop a portfolio to showcase a range of media production skills. This may include projects in film and TV, social media and content creation, advertising and marketing, music video, podcasting and magazines.
- In response to a set brief, you will plan, develop, and produce your own final major project in an area of media that you want to specialise in. This project will apply the skills you learnt in A1 to create a professional outcome.
This course is an excellent option to choose from as it gives us creative and practical skills for video production and graphic design. It is a good way for me to build and enhance my creativity and has given me the skills to analyse media texts very well. Aswell as this the course allows me to understand different media texts and the purpose for them whether it be advertising or film. The teacher also helps a lot as she explains things thoroughly and helps on anything I don't understand
