This is an interesting, creative and demanding course that deals with an important element of everyday life. Students not only study Media, but also have the opportunity to become researchers, journalists, editors, photographers and designers. Foundation Portfolio: Students research, plan and produce two paired media artefacts in film production: a preliminary exercise in basic film production and the opening sequences of a new fictional film. Key Media Concepts: This unit includes the textual analysis of various technical aspects of the languages and conventions of the moving image media: TV Drama. Students will also study the contemporary institutional processes of production, distribution, marketing and the consumption of the Music Industry and the Film Industry. Advanced Portfolio: Students explore a wider breadth of media forms and develop production skills to create either: a promotional package for the release of an album or a short film. The music promo comprises a music video and a choice of: a band website, band DVD cover or a magazine advert for the DVD release. The short film will be accompanied by two of the following options: a poster, a radio trailer or a film magazine review page featuring the film. Critical Perspectives: Students will describe and evaluate their skill development over the course of their production work in relation to theoretical concepts. They will also study contemporary media issues, debates and representations of youth identity within the British Film and Television Industry.
