Digital Photography & Digital Video – Advanced Subsidiary GCE and Advanced GCE
< Back
Course Synopsis:
Photography includes artwork in video and digital imaging. Frequently,
the techniques of the different disciplines are used to convey messages
and create works in other graphic disciplines, such as television
advertisements and the use of photographic images in magazines, books,
advertisements and in digital forms. We are looking for students with
enthusiasm, determination and creativity.
Work in photography should form a means of personal enquiry and
expression involving the selection and manipulation of images. Students
must employ creative approaches which go beyond mere observation and
recording.
In the context of this specification, disciplines will include
photography, digital photography and digital video. Students will be
required to work in one or more of these disciplines.
