The Project Brief<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With every unit covered across the duration of your course, you will receive a ‘project brief’ which will inform you of the aims and requirements of a media project. Briefs are used across the industry to outline the creative and technical expectations of a creative media project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For your first Level 3 Extended Diploma project, you will combine Unit 9 and Unit 10 – building on previous skills and knowledge to plan, produce and distribute a short film (max. duration 10 minutes) in the specific style of a chosen genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project will enable you to strengthen application of filmmaking processes and skills used in creative media production and technology and to the particular characteristics and methods of communication within the media sector. Through a range of design and research activities and related skills, you will work both individually and as part of a production team to produce a short narrative film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project will provide you with an opportunity to develop a focused, in-depth, understanding of the range, characteristics, complexity and contexts that define media and communication activity. Across the project, you will apply exploration and investigation to enter into a more formal dialogue of personal interrogation and understanding designed to confirm strengths, enthusiasms and ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through pitching, planning and distribution you will be encouraged to demonstrate an understanding of audiences and theoretical approaches to your chosen area of activity, and reflect on the importance of collaboration and communication with those audiences during engagement with complex problem solving tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
