Further Information
Students must have 5 A-C grades including Maths and English to undertake this
course. There is a requirement to produce substantial written reports, present
information to peers and adults in written and verbal form and to use radio and film
equipment. Media students are often asked to spend time in the school and wider
community filming editing events such as sports and performing arts. Although this
does not form part of their assessment it is invaluable practice in acquiring the
practical skills needed for higher grades.
Students enjoy using our Academy’s radio equipment and often discover skills they
never had when they start filming and editing in their practical assignments. We are
excited to be introducing a green screen to our range of equipment and hope to see
our students enjoy experimenting with it.
