Graphics, Photography & Film’s curriculum provides you with an opportunity to develop your knowledge and understanding of these three subjects.

You will engage with contemporary makers and artists as a starting point to inspire your creative processes and skills. Practical skills will be developed using a camera and Photoshop, alongside refining your hand drawing and artistic skills. 

You will begin to develop your analytical skills in order to understand how films are constructed and you will learn how filmmakers use camera angles, lighting, sound and editing to create stories and entertain audiences.
