Level 2 Film, Photography & Digital Media

The course gives you the introduction to photography and filming – capturing footage and then editing this as appropriate for different digital media platforms, such as websites, social media sites and Vlogs.

The Film, Photography & Digital Media course will help you to develop an understanding of the core skills of photography, moving image creation, website design and online promotion.

You will also develop a completed media product such as music video, website, film or photo portfolio, which you will then develop into a viable business proposal.

You will develop strong vocational and personal competencies, such as working to deadlines, time management and project planning, independent study and professional communication, in order to prepare for roles within Media or for further study at University level and beyond.
