Foundation Creative and Media Production, and Technology
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Foundation Creative and Media Production, and Technology is a two-year Entry Level and Level 1 course for learners in Years 10 and 11 who learn best through practical work, graded from Entry 1 Pass to Level 1 Pass. Unit 1 looks at Welsh creative media companies, audiences, job roles, regulators and ethics, and learners usually show this through digital posters, presentations, quizzes or podcasts. Unit 2, which carries most of the points, is digital almost throughout: learners plan, make and edit one media product in audio-visual, audio, interactive media or graphic design and publishing form, using cameras, smartphones, microphones and editing software, then save and export it. All evidence is submitted digitally. Key Stage 3 should build confident filming, recording, image editing and exporting for a named audience.

Building an interactive webpage from templates
Learners who choose interactive media in Unit 2 create multimedia products with still and moving images and interactive elements such as menus, a navigation bar and scrolling. They do not have to write code such as HTML and may use web design software or templates, but they are responsible for the content and design, and they test and fix the product through user testing and correcting errors.

Using creative techniques to appeal to an audience
In Unit 2 learners use creative techniques in their own product to appeal to the target audience, such as content of images, pace of editing and slogans in a TV advert, or layout, images and graphics on a webpage. Level 1 learners use a range of techniques and explain two ways the complete product would appeal to its target audience.

Gathering feedback, including from AI tools, and improving the work
In Unit 2 learners find out where feedback comes from, including teachers, classmates, self-reflection and AI tools, pick out areas for improvement and change their plans, for example by changing colours, layout or text or re-recording clips. Level 1 learners review feedback from at least two separate sources and refine their pre-production work, explaining how the changes improve it.

Da gwybod
- All evidence for both units is submitted online: "All evidence must be submitted digitally." Paper work and physical evidence must be scanned, photographed or filmed (Section 3.3, page 40).
- Learners make one product in one media form: "a creative media product in one of the following media forms", audio-visual, audio, interactive media or graphic design and publishing (Unit 2, page 23).
- Equipment depends on that choice: "Depending on the media form chosen by the learner", centres may need video and audio recording equipment, software such as Adobe Creative Suite, and audio and audio-visual editing software (Unit 2, page 22).
- Coding is not required for websites: "learners are not required to create websites through programming languages such as HTML", and web design software or templates are acceptable (Unit 2, page 26).
- AI is part of the taught content: learners use prompts "in AI tools to generate initial ideas" (page 23), AI tools are a source of feedback (page 24), and the "use of AI" is an ethical consideration (Unit 1, page 14).
- Tasks are set by the centre: "Teachers have the flexibility to design assessment tasks" (Section 3.1, page 39), and "Learners must be supervised by a teacher while completing assessment activities." (Section 3.5, page 41).
- The cover warns that "The UK Government has announced plans to restrict social media use by children under 16, which may impact some of our qualifications." (cover page), which may matter for social media examples.
- Appendix A (page 48) maps Digital Competence Producing to every learning outcome in both units, Citizenship to LO1.2, LO1.4, LO2.2 and LO2.5, Interacting and collaborating to LO2.3, and Data and computational thinking to none.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The specification names the WJEC VCSE Creative and Media Production, and Technology as the next step after a Level 1 Pass. The VCSE shares the same skills: pre-production planning with storyboards and schedules, filming, recording, photography, editing, copyright, regulation, AI and appeal to a target audience. It steps them up from one teacher-set product in a single media form to WJEC-set briefs, a separate pre-production NEA and a multi-modal promotional campaign that combines an audio-visual or audio element with an interactive or graphic design element, with a production journal and a one hour sector test. Filming, editing and media regulation also link with GCSE Digital Media and Film, and image editing and web design link with GCSE Digital Technology.
