Getting Ahead

Creative Content & Video Production at South Downs Campus

This Creative Content and Visual production course gives you the opportunity to develop your interest in the creative media industry. The focus of this course is to create and enhance practical skills to produce visual content in the media, learning through collaborative projects and using adobe software.

This work will help you get to grips with some of the key concepts involved in this course and the media industry. Building these foundations now will put you in good stead when you begin your course in September. The content delivery is supplemented with practical activities to allow you to develop the associated technical skills for the workplace.

This task will give you an introduction to the type of activities you will be given when you start your Level 2 Creative Content and Visual Production course in September. This task is designed to get you thinking about your media use.

Over the summer, reflect on the content and media you watch, create, or enjoy.

Write a short response (around 150–200 words) answering the following:

  • What kind of media content do you watch or follow the most (YouTube, film, TikTok, TV, etc.), and why?
  • Is there a content creator, film, or piece of media that inspires you? What do you like about it?
  • What makes visual content stand out to you — is it editing, story, humour, visuals, or something else?

Create a mood board or collage (digital or hand-drawn) that shows your favourite media, creators, or styles.

My time at the college was definitely life changing, I have learnt a lot of new skills, and obviously it’s a completely new experience. The support was great, there was always people there to help and try make it as easy as they can for you. The college is really fantastic, it has helped me on the way to get to what I want to achieve within my career goals.

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.

My experience at the College was great, it’s very different to school, and I think it’s a good step to going to university. The support was amazing, I loved all of my teachers, they helped me through everything. The College is friendly and you will succeed.
