In this exciting new course, you will create content for multiple platforms including short videos and films, podcasts and online multimedia news articles.
You will receive teaching from those who have worked in the relevant industries.
It’s important in this new media age that you have number of production skills instead of one or two and this course can help you with that.
Therefore, in the NPA, you will produce:
- A short video/film of your choice
- Online news or sport articles
- A podcast of your choice
You will then learn how to promote your content via social media to your intended target audience.
Your video/film could be a short fictional drama, a documentary or a TV or website news package. Likewise, you could create a series of news podcasts, a documentary or a comedy programme.
This NPA is designed to be as practical as possible in order to let you create as many engaging pieces of multimedia content.
