12TPR

Level 2 Technical Production

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr L. McClymont.

Level 2 Technical Production

Year 12 Technical Production focuses on students gaining the skills and knowledge to participate in the creation of real school productions and events. They will learn more advanced Sound, Lighting, Costume and Design skills, using these to assist several departments in the school. 12TPR is a mix of both art and science theory, with students delving into Colour Theory and Design Principles through to Sound Wave Theory and Electronics. This theory is balanced with almost 50% practical work throughout the year. Although this course does not count towards University Entrance or Course Endorsement, it is a worthy companion to Drama, Technology, or Media courses as well as a vocational pathway into the production industry.

Note: there is a requirement for working outside class time on events throughout the year.

Note: Audio and Lighting standards are compulsory and students choose two out of Costume, Stage Design, and Production. 

A device is required for this course.

All standards can be achieved at A/M/E level.
