Overview

This programme is designed to help you learn to produce video content as an independent producer or integrate as part of a production crew. You will learn production techniques and apply them in video, film, media, multimedia and online environments.

Early modules will focus on how production workflows exist in the contemporary era. You will learn a wide range of production skills that will each contribute to high value video production. You will work with professional grade cameras, high end editing suites, and more broadcast standard equipment. This will all be underpinned by appropriate historical and modern contextual research, and developing academic skills. The focus throughout the degree will be on video forms within modern technologies and its popularised applications. A careers module during level 6 will prepare students for work in the industry, and associated sectors, with an emphasis on the intelligent use of online platforms as a freelance practitioner.
