Happy to answer any questions on Bournemouth and TV Production.

Hi Gemma,

I've been offered a conditional place for Television Production and I'm currently trying to decide whether I should make it my firm choice. How are you finding the course so far? Does it live up to the amazing reputation it has? Have you come across anything you don't like about the course?

Hi Ellie,

I honestly love the course! We our out filming all the time and use the studio a lot. This term for example we have to make a music show, a fashion show and two 'lunch time' magazine shows. For location we then had to make a 3-5 minuite fiction peice and a 3-5 minuite factual peice. Its busy but great fun and such a good way to learn all the different roles.

If you don't know much technically don't worry because that is all taught to you. We have workshops on camera skills and editing to get everyone up to speed.

We do a bit of theory but its not to much. For this whole year we have only had to submit 3 essays so its very managable!

I can see why Bournemouth has got such a good reputation as the facalities are very good and staff all know what they are talking about as they have been in the industry themselves.

I can't actually think of something that I dislike about the course because its exceeded my own expectations. Im sure your love it as well if you come here!

Oh, I have a few more questions How many people are in the year on the course? Will each student have a chance to meet everyone or is it one of those courses where you don't meet half of your coursemates for the whole 3 years? And I've heard that there are some exams but I don't know what they're actually on. Is it knowledge of technical aspects or is it more about theory etc? Do they count for a lot of the grade? Also, in my interview I was told that if you fall behind even a little bit in the course, you're pretty much screwed as it's really hard to catch up. Is that really the case? Sorry to bombard you with questions, haha.
