Student Experience What Qualities do I need?
The UAL Extended Diploma Creative Media Production course has been designed to reflect both the film and broadcast industries. Using industry standard hardware, including a range of cameras and our own Radio and TV Studio( sponsored by YouTube Music), you will complete a wide range of industry-related projects, including music videos, short films, documentaries, and advertisements. Alongside this you will collaborate on live broadcasts covering both TV and radio. Underpinning these practical projects are more theory-based assignments that cover subjects such as scriptwriting, film studies and industry related topics. Our students have undertaken placements on a range of productions, from feature films, to advertisements and radio.
You’ ll have the opportunity to contribute to a number of exciting projects covering filmmaking and live broadcast. Every year, working as part of a crew, our students travel to a secret location for four days to shoot short films. BRIT Live is the department’ s very own magazine style show that is broadcast monthly via YouTube. We celebrate the success of all of our students through the department’ s annual award showcase held at the BFI Southbank.
We are interested in students who possess and can demonstrate a passion in at least one area of media, whether it is the adrenaline rush of live broadcast or the painstaking process of crafting a film or documentary. It is essential that you are enthusiastic and can demonstrate both commitment and the ability to work as part of a team.
