Creative Portfolio allows students to explore their chosen creative practice areas; developing their individual creative identity as a practitioner, while consolidating the creative and technical skill areas they will require in the context of the production of relevant creative projects and other relevant creative media outputs.

Students will undertake a skills audit and work with small teams on creative projects and with personal tutors and industry mentors to develop a creative portfolio tailored to their needs. These skills will be deployed in projects related to intensive workshops in relevant areas (these areas can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the cohort). Students will also attend intensive CPD workshops in specific areas of professional and creative practice associated with the creative industries, for example:

Phase 2: Digital Filmmaking - 3-5 minute; Sound Art –environment soundscape; Creative Writing - short story, poetry or play.
These project activities will allow students to gain a experience of production roles which will be built into their creative portfolio.
