Creative Media Production (Film, TV and VFX) Level 3

From pre-production, production and post-production (editing and VFX), you have access to a range of professional equipment from HD camcorders to cranes and tracks to enhance your films. Create stunning visual effects in our Green screen room or create a TV show for our DCTV channel, here at Doncaster College you can explore your inner filmmaker.

If you want to understand what goes on behind the camera in film and TV and why things happen the way they do in such a diverse industry this course is right for you.

Through a variety of external contacts there are always opportunities available for you to gain invaluable work experience to be used in your showreel and CV. Clients in the past have varied from the NHS, CVS Awards, and Carte D’or.

The course is delivered through a series of 8 units, each with their own set of assignments. In Units 1-3, you will be creating a short film exploring single camera production and VFX. Within this you will cover the theoretical links to narrative and audience, while practicing research techniques to structure your idea and roles within the industry. Workshops are held to allow you to practice with equipment and build production skills.

Units 4-7 are focused on developing your skills further through the creation of a TV show and exploring the context of Hollywood and independent film. In these units you will be learning interactive media skills and creating a website for the TV show. Sound design will also factor into these units to make you broadcast ready. From the skills you have acquired in Units 1-7, Unit 8 grants you the freedom to choose an area of interest to explore for the final major project. Emphasis will however be placed on creating a selection of videos throughout the course. All videos assignments will include in depth pre-production paperwork and product reviews.
