Multi Media

Multimedia

The multimedia module aims to introduce students to communicating visually by creating projects in film, graphic design & presentations.

Our equipment includes a semi-professional HD video camera, handheld video camera, microphones, LED stage lighting and a sound mixing desk. The software we use includes iMovie, Adobe Photoshop & Microsoft PowerPoint.

What happens in the class?

Students work in teams of four throughout the year on a series of projects. Projects are based around real school events as much as possible. This allows the students to make an active contribution to school life as well as getting a large audience for their work.

A key challenge in Multimedia is learning how to work as a team in order to complete a challenging project, therefore while students receive individual marks for effort, they are marked as a team on their assignments. As many of the projects students work on in this module have external deadlines, students agree a set of goals for the end of each term that their team can be marked on. Details of the goals for each term are shown below.
