| Photography has become one of the most popular subjects both at school and within the creative industries. In the millennial age where social media and photography have become more readily accessible and viable as a career path, it can lead into a wide variety of industries such as film / tv, fashion, property, advertising and marketing. The course builds on what is taught at level 2. Students develop their own creative and conceptual direction and explore a wide range of both digital and analogue photographic techniques and processes to create a cohesive portfolio of work. The course prepares students for tertiary study in the creative fields. |

| Main Areas of Study: | ||||
| Students will work towards a portfolio/digital portfolio of original photographic/moving image work. They will gain further understanding of methods and ideas that form contemporary photography practice and develop critical and creative thinking skills. This programme will get students to generate and develop ideas based on 3 assessed areas: 3.2 Use drawing to demonstrate understanding of conventions appropriate to photography. 3.3 Systematically clarify ideas using drawing informed by established photography practice. 3.4 Produce a systematic body of work that integrates conventions and regenerates ideas within photography practice. |
