Griffith College Dublin

The purpose of this award-winning course is to provide students with a fundamental knowledge of the practical application of TV and video production and post-production techniques. Students on the programme, many of whom have no familiarity with the medium on course commencement, are taught how to propose and make video packages and the skills of post-production, utilising advanced industry software.

Exciting subjects, such as television and video production, film theory and photography all whet the appetite. If you're looking for a thorough understanding in the art of television and video production, particularly through the completion of practical assignments, then you'll find this a most rewarding course. On successful completion students will receive a City & Guilds Diploma in Television and Media Techniques plus a GCD Diploma in Television Production and Digital Video Editing.

The nature of visual media has changed dramatically in recent years with the stunning growth of digital television, the Internet and increased film production. To match this growth our course content reflects the ongoing technical and market developments. Students will be taught skills that are relevant to current and emerging skill-set industry practice and, to this end, the syllabus has been created by experts at the forefront of Irish film education and practice. In fact many of the lecturers on the course are also industry professionals who will introduce you to the cutting edge of a highly competitive industry. While the course is primarily practical in nature - with students creating their own video productions, using digital production and post-production equipment - a balance between practical applications and academic pursuits is maintained.

At the end of the course students may apply for entry to the BA in Journalism and may be considered for subject exemptions on the basis of performance and portfolio. There are many interesting opportunities in audio, video, lightening, production and research in television and film production.
