Creative media spans a broad range of specialisms and purposes, from entertainment to education and information. Before entering the industry, creative practitioners need to explore and refine different interrelated creative media practices in order to develop technical and communication skills and build confidence for producing outcomes to meet client needs or fulfil a purpose.
The aim of the BTEC Level Multi Media Production course is to provide you with this broad range of skills to prepare you for a career in one of many Creative Media industries. You will explore ways of informing ideas, understand and develop solutions to creative challenges, acquire technical skills and develop professional practice and communication skills.
You will develop these underpinning skills practically through producing work, experimenting with a range of ideas and technical practices. You will have the opportunity to bring them all together in response to a creative brief.
