Media Production Entry Level

The first of 3 levels of Media Production EDGE Award activities, developed to help you enhance your technical production knowledge through involvement in a range of extra curricular projects.

Outline of Activity

The purpose of the three Media Production Edge activities (entry, intermediate and advanced grades) is to encourage a higher tempo of media production activity within the student body.

These activities will help students find where their personal passions and interests lay, improve their technical skills and production knowledge and expand the number of projects on their CV. These three levels will improve your employment prospects and expand your network of creative contacts inside and outside the University.

Media Production Entry Level requires a student to take part in 10 projects at an entry level grade or higher. The projects can be non-academic personal projects, events produced by third-parties or they can be part of a University assessment. For clarification, a student can volunteer to work on another group’s assessment as part of this Edge activity, but they cannot include anything for which they receive an academic grade.

Students will be required to provide evidence of their participation in the 10 projects and will be required to write a 100-word report (minimum) outlining: the project, their role and activity on the project, what skills they refined or developed as part of the activity, whether the activity increased their network of contacts and areas for future personal improvement.

Projects which were undertaken prior to applying for the Edge activity might be acceptable for inclusion as part of the 10. Contact activity coordinator for further details.
