A2 UNIT 1: COURSEWORK This unit begins in the summer term Y12 with a chance to learn more about how to use your camera. There will also be work on how to express your opinion about Photography. In September of Y13 a very broad starting point is set, for example 'Sanctuary' which students will explore and use to generate project proposals. These personal projects will be supported through individual tutorial and practical guidance. This unit also requires students to write a 1500 word study on a subject related to their practical work. A LEVEL UNIT 2: EXTERNALLY SET ASSIGNMENT The work in this unit follows a similar pattern except the starting point is set by the board. The unit is kick started by set activities that lead to more independent work. FUTURE STUDY / CAREERS We are increasingly surrounded by photographic images. It is the dominant means of communication in magazines, newspapers, web-sights, adverts, film and television yet it is hardly studied at school. An understanding of this omnipresent media will become an essential survival tool in the 21st century as our communication becomes ever more screen based. There are many career opportunities for the photo-imaging industry. www.skillset.org/photo/careers/
