Chelsea FC and Kent Crusaders Basketball Instructions:

Students must choose three (3) different subject options from three different Option Blocks (you cannot choose the same subject more than once). If a student is selecting the Chelsea FC or Kent Crusaders options, they will need to pick 3 A Levels/BTECS to study alongside this. Students should ensure they are predicted or have achieved grades that meet the entry criteria for chosen options by consulting the UKAT Sixth Form Course booklet. The blocking structure can be amended dependent on course sign up and other timetabling factors.

Students will explore key aspects of media production, including pre-production planning, technical production skills, and the analysis of a range of film texts. The course provides insight into how media products are created and the processes behind them. It culminates in the creation of a short film, which students can produce individually or as part of a team. Key units include an online exam on media representation, a controlled assessment in response to a media commission, and internally assessed units on media pre-production and film production.

Assessment is a combination of internal and external methods, with grades awarded as Pass, Merit, Distinction, or Distinction*. Two units are assessed internally through coursework, while the remaining two are externally assessed—one via an online exam and one through a set brief.
