The National Extended Diploma in Creative Media Practice is a fun
but challenging course, ideal if you are seeking a career in media or
progression into higher education. The course allows you to explore a wide range
of media subjects and to gain theoretical and practical knowledge of the
concepts and processes involved in making media products.
This course is the first year of a 2-year course and has two pathways to
choose from.
Games Development
On the Games Development pathway you get to study the process of
developing game ideas, designing characters, storylines, and marketing
materials, and gain essential knowledge in 3D modelling and scripting. Studying
on this course will give you essential insight and information into the gaming
industry, including how to pitch ideas and crucial project management skills.
This course is supported by audio production lessons which will enable you to
design sound effects for your game and strengthen your industry knowledge and
skills even further.
Film and Television
The film, television and broadcasting pathway will give you the opportunity
to study television and film, learning how to deconstruct and analyse
productions before planning and producing your own. Your tutor will guide you
through the production process, using industry standard documentation and
practices to equip you with the right knowledge and understanding to work in
this business. This course is supported by lessons in audio production, allowing
you to learn soundtrack production. Not only will you make your own video
production but you will get the opportunity to create your own sound
effects.
Your assignments will allow you to make realistic media products using the
College's outstanding professional TV, radio and recording studios, often
working with external clients on live assignment briefs. This also includes a
client-based work experience project.
