Subject Overview

​

Pupils are introduced to Moving Image in Year 10 and can then choose it as an option at GCSE and/or A level. In MIA, pupils are taught the practical skills of film making and animation. They also develop their ability to understand the creative decisions made by a production team within all aspects of the film's film language. Analytical skills are honed through the study of film clips.

In CCEA GCSE and A Level, pupils undertake a range of creative tasks which culminate in the planning and production of their own original short film or animation. At A level, classes are shared with our partnership schools. We partner with Screen Works and the Nerve Centre to give our pupils the best opportunities to experience working alongside industry professionals. Moving Image is a vibrant and exciting subject, with many of our pupils continuing their study of film and media production at third level.
