The A level Photography course offers expertise in many areas of specific study, including: Darkroom Practice for printing, pinhole-camera and film processing; digital post-production techniques including Photoshop; DSLR camera use; Studio Lighting and Production; contextual and critical studies with a special focus on the ever-changing face of the Photographic Image. You will be encouraged to explore and refine core disciplines and become an independent, confident and articulate visual communicator. Your abilities to master practical techniques, in combination with your broadening yet deepening conceptual, contextual knowledge will reflect your success on the course. Component 1: 'Personal Investigation' will account for 40% of the A level, marked against two key elements of Supporting Studies and Practical Work in which you shall demonstrate your existing skills in two or more Lens-Based disciplines. You will negotiate your theme with your Photography Tutor, choosing carefully to reflect your emerging skills and integral ability. You will also be required to undertake and write a Personal Study of a minimum of 1000 words. The second unit, Component 2, is an 'Externally Set Assignment' worth 40% and culminates in a fifteen-hour exam based on the study and exploration of a theme set by the exam board.
