1. Welcome and Introduction to HND Media Moving Image

Welcome to the HND Media Moving Image. The course offers students a balanced study of practical and theoretical disciplines, allowing them to develop skills in moving image production. Students will also conduct investigations into theoretical principles and regulatory issues relating to the moving image industry. The course is split into four semesters, two per year. The first year includes team work and personal study production, with second year studies focusing on individual planning and production. Students can take the opportunity to work alone or lead a Production team during practical projects. This programme has been designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge base required to work in your chosen specialism or other graduate opportunities. It is also a platform from which you can undertake additional vocational and academic qualifications.

Brief Description of the Programme

This programme offers students a balanced study of practical and theoretical disciplines, allowing them to develop skills in moving image production, as well as conduct investigations into theoretical principles and regulatory issues relating to industries in this area. The course is split into four semesters, two per year. The first year includes team work and personal study production, with second year studies focusing on individual planning and production. Students can take the opportunity to work alone or lead a Production team during practical projects. Practical work is undertaken in a digital environment. Study is predominantly made up of lectures and production for factual and fictional programmes. Certain modules, particularly the studio production module, require teamwork to create and produce a programme in a multi-camera digital studio environment. Assessment is 100% coursework based, involving theory and practical work. The programme also boasts a series of master classes, led by industry specialists such as Producers, Lighting Designers, Camera Operators and Directors. Truro College has a modern production environment, including a purpose built TV studio and gallery, furnished with digital production equipment.

Work placement and Work based learning Higher education programmes continually develop learning, teaching and assessment strategies that promote activities relevant to student career aspirations and employment opportunities. The embedding of employability ensures that students leave their programmes ready to take on the challenges of employment in the twenty first century with the professional, personal and practical skills outlined in our Employability Statement.

Work-based learning enables learners to take on appropriate role(s) within a work related context, giving them the opportunity to learn and apply skills and knowledge they have acquired through their programme. Work-based learning can be achieved through many forms, including full-time or part-time work, integrated work placements, real work environments and real life scenarios. Work-placement is a period of time working with an employer in a commercial/voluntary sector that is assessed as part of your programme.

Every Foundation Degree programme will contain some form of assessment that is linked to a period of work-placement or work-based learning. Some courses will contain the assessed work in year 1, some in year 2 and some will be assessed in year 2 following a placement period during year 1 (or in the summer break between year 1 and year 2). You should confirm with your tutor when the placement period will be for your student group so that you can find a relevant placement.

Normally we recommend that 20 days will provide the best opportunity to engage with the employer, understand working practice and demonstrate your value in a way that will generate a positive reference for the future. Assessments normally require a minimum period of 10 days. This may be a 2-week block, a weekly one-day placement or a mixture of opportunities negotiated between your tutor and the employer.

Placements must be agreed with your tutor along with the relevant information regarding insurance, a mentor and all the relevant paperwork before you can attend. For a variety of reasons, some sectors don’t conform to normal working practice and in these cases, your course manager may choose to develop simulated work-placements within the college, work shadowing or exercises that link directly to self-employment.

Any student who works in an environment where they engage with children or vulnerable adults is required to provide an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) record with no entries (formally Criminal Records Bureau [CRB]). Students are expected to cover the cost of this process and should have provided evidence at interview or enrolment. Foundation Degree students who are unable to provide an enhanced DBS record free from convictions or cautions could be at risk of being unable to complete the assessment on their programme which could mean withdrawal from or interruption of their studies. If a student is aware that they will have entries on their DBS record they should raise this immediately with their tutor so that appropriate advice can be provided. All sport and health, education and social science students will need to provide a DBS record before they can take part in some components of their programme. Students on other courses will be advised by their module leader based on their choice of placement.

Students must also be aware that should any material information or circumstances change that could influence their DBS status following the offer of a place, or at any time once enrolled on a programme, it is their responsibility to make their Programme Lead aware of any change. Changes to circumstances will be considered in confidence and Programme Leads will work with students to minimise the impact on their studies.

Distinctive Features of the HND

The HND Media Moving Image is an exciting course which provides the opportunity for students in the field of moving image to experience learning in modern purpose-built facilities. The course develops students’ own skills as well as promoting a ‘cultural’ approach through the study of existing moving image products. The emphasis of the course is upon the practical application of all related moving image production skills, including the pre-production planning and development. Strong links have been established with local production companies and providers of services to national companies, and with organisations and bodies in need of moving image products. The course will utilise these fully to provide real production opportunities for students. The College has well resources courses at advanced level in Media Studies, and has invested in a wide range of editing and filming equipment. The course is delivered by a team with broad educational and industrial experience.
