This vocational course, equivalent to three A Levels, provides you with an exciting opportunity to work and develop your skills in broadcast journalism, TV and film editing and other media related disciplines such as print and radio.
You will be encouraged to experiment, develop your imagination and express thoughts and ideas through visual and aural media.
Highly practical in its nature, this course combines the areas of journalism, investigative research, film and video editing, print production, scriptwriting and storyboarding, along with studio and outside broadcasting for both TV and radio.
You will learn how to create and manipulate images, create TV adverts, a radio drama, music videos, short films as well as a variety of other productions. You will have the opportunity to run our TV studio on a daily basis and work in our new state of the art film and TV studio.
You will become a member of our very own production company, VIBE Productions, showcasing a wide range of media work produced by our students at our annual ‘Oscars’ night.
Prior knowledge and experience is not required but an interest in journalism, current affairs, film production and IT is essential. This course is very demanding in terms of the coursework required and students are expected to dedicate time outside taught sessions to work on projects and live events. Good organisational skills and the ability to meet deadlines are vitally important to be successful.
Career options may include digital copywriter, designer, video journalist, social media management, blogging and marketing.
This course is an accepted qualification for entry into university, with students having secured places on degree courses in areas including film and documentary making, sports media and journalism, 3D animation, art and photography at universities such as Bournemouth, Winchester and Portsmouth.
Alternatively, students may consider direct entry into related employment.
