UAL LEVEL 3 CREATIVE MEDIA PRODUCTION
AT COLCHESTER INSTITUTE
YOUR AWARDING BODY
Your 'awarding body' is UAL. This is the organisation that sets the syllabus for your course and from whom you will receive your diploma.
Your course is Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production & Technology. Your specialist pathway is VFX & Animation.
THIS IS THE LINK TO THE UAL COURSE SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT.
The VFX & Animation course, the Film and TV Level 3 course, and the Games Design Level 3 course, all follow the same specification document. You'll notice it uses terms like 'creative media product' – this could be a film, a game, a website, a 3D CG model... this gives your assessors lots of freedom when it comes to assessing your work, and is a GOOD THING.
THIS IS THE LINK TO THE UAL 'EXEMPLIFICATION MATRIX' FOR YEAR 1.
THIS IS THE LINK TO THE UAL 'EXEMPLIFICATION MATRIX' FOR YEAR 2.
We will come back to this document again and again throughout the course as it is the key to understanding how you will be assessed and ultimately graded for your work on the course. Like the course specification, it's very flexible and has lots of ideas and thinking embedded in it. Understanding the exemplification matrix will definitely help you work towards improving your final grade. But don't worry, you'll get lots of help to do this.
