KS4 - Creative iMedia
Intent
Digital media is a key part of many areas of our everyday lives and vital to the UK economy. Production of digital media products is a requirement of almost every business so there is huge demand for a skilled and digitally literate workforce.
The Creative IMedia curriculum aims to develop pupil’s skills and understanding of digital media within a range of industries linked to the business and entertainment sectors, media and the digital world. It will equip pupils to design, plan and construct IMedia products and develop a deeper understanding of the concepts of digital graphics. They will explore and embed practical skills to think, plan creatively and to analyse logically, different digital artefacts, to strengthen their practical skills and be able to justify the choices made.
The examined unit looks at the planning of media products. Planning is an essential part of working in the creative and digital media sector. The unit enables students to acquire the underpinning knowledge and skills needed to create digital media products and gain an understanding of their application.
Students with SEND will be provided with specific support; including video tutorials, scaffolding, additional support, and differentiation of activities to ensure they can access the curriculum and enable them to thrive within their Imedia lessons.
We want our students to develop a wide range of digital skills that will equip them with choices for when they leave our school.
