The purpose of Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Film and Television is to
develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals able to meet the
demands of employers in the film and television sector and adapt to a constantly
changing world. The qualifications aim to widen access to higher education and
enhance the career prospects of those who undertake them.
The Level 5 modules prepare students to move on to specific areas of film and
television at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities
necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision-making.
Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to
deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical
evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of film and
television situations. By the end of Level 5, students will have a sound
understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know
how to apply those principles more widely in the business world. They will be
able to perform effectively in their specialist area.
