Getting Started

The free choice project, along with the careers unit 24, represents the final part of your media diploma. Here are the key things you need to know:

  •  If you are 12 UNIT student you should only need to complete one free choice unit 
  •  For 18 UNIT students you will need to complete two free choice units - we suggest that these are linked and part of the same project
  • You will need to make sure the unit is not one you have completed before
  • You can work on your own or make a proposal with other - if you work in a group you will need to have defined job roles 
  • You have been assigned a teacher to be your supervisor but you should seek help from all your class teachers or others with specialist knowledge
  • YOU MUST SUBMIT A PROPOSAL AND HAVE IT AGREED BEFORE YOU START
  • The proposal advice is here
  • Projects can work well if they are for an actual client (eg a promo film for a small business, or a website or music video for a local band)
  • picking something you are interested in or helps with your career progression is advisable!
