Visual Media (Photography)

UPDATED 20161028 13:07:59

This is designed to be a 2 year A Level course. In Year 12, students participate in a range of workshops including camera techniques, studio photography, location photography, PhotoShop and presentation skills. They develop a range of skills before completing a mini project on an area of their choice. In the summer term they begin their Personal Investigation project which continues into Year 13. It is possible to achieve an AS Level or EPQ at the end of Year 12 but this decision has to be made very early in Year 12. If a student chooses to do this then it is not possible to continue with the full A Level as they will have missed the start of the Personal Investigation project. Many students go directly onto university and further education photography courses in specialist areas such as photojournalism, fashion, publishing, interior design, gallery management, web and games design, teaching, styling, animation, freelance photography and many others.
