GCSE Digital Media and Film
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Digital Media and Film is digital throughout: an on-screen examination on films, a video game and online news and social media, a researched portfolio with digitally produced promotional elements, and two digital productions edited in editing software. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is confident filming, audio recording and editing, so pupils arrive able to plan, shoot, cut and export a short piece with control.

Editing video and audio using editing software
Post-production must be done digitally, and learners are marked on technical and creative control of editing, including types of edit, pace of editing and sound. This also means managing large media files and choosing suitable export formats.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils trim and split clips of their five-shot sequence and add one straight cut, one fade and one dissolve in a simple video editor, saving the project in a named class folder.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils layer voiceover, music and a sound effect in Audacity, adjusting volume envelopes so the voice stays clear, then export as MP3.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils edit their teaser to a set length, changing the pace of editing to build tension, and export it in a format that plays on Teams, keeping earlier versions.

Da gwybod
- Social media is deliberately kept out of production work for under 16s: 'Social media accounts' was removed from the Unit 2 examples and 'planning a social media campaign' became 'planning a promotional campaign' (Summary of amendments, page 3).
- In Unit 3 the 'social media campaign' option was changed to 'trailer' (Summary of amendments, page 3), so pupils are not required to post publicly online.
- Pre-production planning may be digital or not: 'hand drawn or digital mock-ups' are both accepted (Unit 3, Section 3.1.1, page 23).
- Post-production editing must be digital: learners edit 'using editing software' (Unit 3, Section 3.1.2, page 23).
- Unit 1 is sat on screen: 'On-screen examination: 1 hour 30 minutes' (Summary of assessment, page 5).
- The specification gives no specific rule on AI tools in NEA; it says only 'Candidates must not take part in any unfair practice in the preparation of work' (Malpractice, page 29).
