The following website contains the initial skill building work of students who have just commenced the National Diploma In Media course at Suffolk New College. During the first half term the students have undertaken short projects in some of the areas their course will encompass namely Film and TV Production, Radio and Photography.

For Film and TV Production they have been taught how to create a short video sequence of an 8-shot jourmey from inital ideas and knowledge and understanding through to shooting and editing their own video piece.
