Overview
Television & Film HNC (Full time)The HNC Level 4 Film and Television is to develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the demands of employers in the film and television sector and adapt to a constantly changing world. The qualifications aim to widen access to higher education and enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them.
The Level 4 modules lay the foundation of learning by providing a broad introduction to film and television. This develops and strengthens core skills while preparing students for specialist subjects at Level 5 or to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require some personal responsibility.
Students will gain a wide range of film and television knowledge linked to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and in the workplace.
By the end of Level 4, students will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of film and television. They will be competent in a range of subject-specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities relevant to key areas of film and television.
