Not sure what you want to do after your GCSEs? If you enjoy coming up with ideas, creating things and working with technology, a Creative Media course could be worth exploring. Here are five signs that Creative Media could be the right choice for you.
1. You’re always coming up with ideas
Whether you’re thinking up video concepts, taking photos, creating content or imagining new ways to tell a story, you’re naturally creative.
Creative Media gives you the opportunity to turn those ideas into real projects and develop them from an initial concept into a finished product.
2. You enjoy creating content
If you’re interested in film, photography, video, social media or digital content, Creative Media could help you take your interests further.
You’ll have the opportunity to explore different areas of media production and discover which parts of the creative industries you enjoy most.
3. You like using technology to create
Creative Media combines creativity with technology. You could develop skills in areas such as filming, photography, editing, digital graphics and sound.
You’ll also gain experience using industry-standard equipment and software, such as Adobe Creative Cloud software such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop and Audition, helping you develop practical skills for further study or a career in the creative industries.
4. You like working on projects
Creative Media is a practical subject where you’ll have the opportunity to work on different projects and bring your ideas to life. You could find yourself developing a concept, planning a production, creating content and working towards a finished outcome.
5. You’re not sure exactly what you want to do yet
One of the best things about Creative Media is the range of possibilities it can open up.
Your skills could lead towards further study at university or careers in areas such as film and television production, photography, video editing, digital content, broadcasting, graphic design and social media/influencer.
You don’t have to know exactly what your future career will be before you start. A Creative Media course could help you explore your interests and discover where your skills could take you.
