The course will provide the opportunity to experience a broad range of practical production briefs including film making, online media content and advertising production, along with more developmental research based study. A mixture of formal teaching, group work, supported independent study, written work and practical work is used in the delivery of the course. Some of your coursework will be submitted online via the virtual learning environment.

You will use a wide range of equipment including professional standard cameras, tripods and lighting packs. Our Creative Media facilities include Mac suites running Adobe Creative Suite with Premiere and After Effects, PC suites and production areas. The Colchester Campus  includes a well-equipped television studio with green-screen facility. You will also learn how to film out on location safely.

Along with the media classes, you will study English and Maths which will make you more employable and improve the quality of your media work. GCSE resit classes and Functional Skills sessions may be part of your timetable depending on your own specific needs. You will also attend group tutorials and 1-1 tutorials to support your study as well as enrichment activities such as watching films, meeting guest lecturers from the industry and making visits to film and television studios.
