Overview
The Diploma in Creative and Media is an exciting new qualification for young people, who want to learn about some of the UK's most dynamic industries.
The Diploma covers a rich range of disciplines including film, TV, radio, 2D and 3D art, advertising and fashion. Students of the Diploma will gain knowledge, experience and skills enabling them to master processes common to all creative industries. There are also opportunities to specialise.
In this course pupils will: analyse existing media, hone research and critical thinking skills; work on pre-production, production and post-production skills for each of the units and exhibit their final work. This will result in the creation of, for example:
-
