BTEC HNC Creative Media Production in Daventry. Classes run at Northampton College at Daventry, full-time over one year. Tuition fees are £6,165 for the year.
The course covers scriptwriting, casting, filming, and editing. You'll also study documentary film-making, music video production, and film theory. Teaching combines seminars and practical workshops. Around a quarter of your time focuses on theory. No prior film-making experience is required.
You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Creative Media Production.
This course is an introduction to games design and animation and students will learn the processes involved in creating games as well as studying how the games design industry works. You will study key players in this exciting and evolving segment of the creative arts industry and you will get the chance to pitch your own ideas and create your own platform.
Students are timetabled for approximately 2 full days per week. Some lessons may be timetabled in the evening in order to provide greater flexibility for those students who work part-time. We expect students to be devoting 2 days of their week to completing work outside of lessons, whether this be in college using the software or at home. All of our HNC/HND students have access to our games labs and can drop in at any time.
You will be taught by teachers with experience of the industry and by the end of the two year course you will have a range of skills that will prepare you for employment in the games industry or for progression to a higher level of study.
Some of the teaching staff continue to work freelance in the industry in order to provide you with the most up to date skills. The course will also enable you to develop transferable skills relevant to the games industry and other creative industries.
Although games design is at the core of your studies, you will also be introduced to the theoretical background of the industry and its place within the creative arts through research and planning units.
Students will require an appropriate Level 3 qualification which equates to a total of 48 UCAS points (2 Ds or above in A Levels, an overall Merit in BTEC Diploma, an overall PASS grade in BTEC Extended Diploma or equivalent, an Access to HE Diploma or an Advanced Apprenticeship).
Students will also need to achieve a grade 4 [C] or above in English and Maths at GCSE level. Applicants aged 21 or older who do not have the entry requirements may be eligible for acceptance based on an interview.
