Overview

This progression course elevates your digital filmmaking and branding skills to an industry-aligned standard. Moving beyond basic filming, learners will conduct competitor research, write professional pitches, experiment with advanced production prototypes, and build cohesive cross-platform brand assets (vlogs, short-form content, and bespoke custom thumbnails). You will learn to evaluate your creative choices critically, managing a media production workflow from concept to a multi-video release.

Key Resources:

  • Mobile Device & Apps: A smartphone with free storage is required. Learners will test and select mobile editing applications and use Canva for digital graphic design layouts.
  • Software Requirement: Access to on-campus editing suites featuring Adobe Premiere Pro and Canva is provided to build premium media workflows.
  • Independent Study & Attendance: While learners must undertake independent practical work outside of class time—specifically for primary video capture and location filming—this course is not delivered via remote learning. Consistent on-campus attendance is vital to access specialist hardware and post-production software suites, engage in peer pitches, and complete the assessed coursework under direct academic supervision.

Assessment is entirely portfolio-based through a UAL Awarding Body framework, with no formal exams. Grades are awarded as a Pass or Fail based on the completion of practical portfolios, production files, and project journals across Unit 1 and Unit 2.

Successful completion rewards students with a UAL Level 2 Award. This provides a direct progression pathway to the UAL Level 2 Diploma or Level 3 Creative Media Production and Technology programmes.

Students engage with professional creative agency pipelines, mastering pre-production paperwork, client pitching structures, Canva asset generation, and platform analytics workflows.

The teaching has been really good, I’ve loved all of my teachers, they’ve all been really nice and supportive.

Jodie Hook

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

Matthew Randell, A Level student

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.
