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.

Sut mae'r uned hon yn cael ei hasesu
- Entry Level (Entry 1, Entry 2, Entry 3): Four learning outcomes (types of digital film and media products, expressing an idea for a product, taking part in creating a product, reflecting on the product) with assessment criteria at Entry 1, Entry 2 and Entry 3. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours.
- Level 1 and Level 2: Four learning outcomes (how digital film and media products communicate messages, planning a product, producing a product, reflecting on its success) with assessment criteria at Level 1 and Level 2. Evidence goes in a portfolio, internally assessed by the centre and externally quality assured by WJEC. 20 guided learning hours.

Presenting and summarising ideas for a product
Entry learners give, present or express an idea and describe its features. At Level 1 learners outline an idea, and at Level 2 summarise possible ideas and explain the most suitable format. These are assessment criteria; pitching to peers or clients is a suggested activity.

Writing scripts, storyboards and plans
Level 1 and Level 2 learners create a plan with content, and the amplification suggests storylines, scenes, dialogue or narration. Writing a simple script or storyboard is listed as an agreed task, so the plan is assessed but a written script is a choice.

Evaluating the product and responding to feedback
Entry learners say what went well, what to change and what they learned. At Level 1 learners describe what worked, identify improvements and reflect on feedback, and at Level 2 evaluate how well the product meets its purpose and audience and describe ways to develop their skills. These are assessment criteria and can be written or recorded.

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.
