Skills for Life: Digital Film and Media
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Digital film and media is a 20 hour Skills for Life unit in which learners study how films, adverts, vlogs and podcasts communicate with an audience, then plan, shoot, edit and review a product of their own. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. Literacy sits in analysing how media texts send messages, presenting and summarising ideas, writing plans and scripts, and evaluating the product and feedback. Numeracy is light: production timelines and clip timings are suggested but not assessed.

Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours.
Sgiliau sy'n defnyddio Mesur

Scheduling production stages and timing clips
Numeracy is light in this unit. The amplification suggests that a Level 1 and Level 2 plan could include timelines or steps for each stage, and editing involves timing clips, but no assessment criterion requires calculation.

Da gwybod
- Unit codes run from Entry 1 to Level 2: "S606E1" to "S606L2", and the unit is 20 guided learning hours (Unit overview, page 3).
- Spoken and visual evidence counts. The pack says evidence "may be verbal, written, practical, or visual" and extended written work "is not required unless appropriate" (Sources of evidence, page 13).
- Reflections can be recorded rather than written: the pack lists a "short written or recorded reflection on the production process" (Sources of evidence, page 13).
- Suggested activities and assessment tasks are optional: the specification says "These tasks are not mandatory" (section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools must be acknowledged. "Copying or paraphrasing sections of AI-generated content" is listed as AI misuse (Specification section 4.6, page 21), which matters for scripts and evaluations.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
The pack names links with GCSE Digital Media and Film, the VCSEs in Creative and Media Production, and Technology, and in Performing Arts, Foundation Digital Technology, Foundation Expressive Arts and Foundation Creative and Media Production, and Technology. The analysis of audio-visual texts, scripting and evaluation also overlaps with media and spoken language work in GCSE English Language and Literature. Within the Skills Suite the pack suggests delivering it alongside Music, dance and drama, Online safety, Science and technology in everyday life, Interview and confidence techniques, and Using IT in the workplace.
