Course Description

This filmmaking course prepares you to be part of a new generation of storytellers - a creative practitioner interested in what the industry can be, not just what it has been. Our rigorous and highly practical approach creates versatile professionals capable of crafting exceptional content for film, TV, theatre, concert, interactive and online audiences.

In your first year you learn a range of key production, scriptwriting, filmmaking, lighting, audio and digital desktop skills. These provide you with a base for further exploration and more advanced study in your second year when new skills are also introduced, including studio production, location shooting, motion capture and virtual production. Armed with this knowledge and experience, in your third year you chose three modules that enable you to explore, develop and advance your skills in areas and subjects that reflect your passions and aspirations.

You also have a project module each year to explore ideas and implement your skills to produce and develop films from concept to completion. Each of your projects is guided by mentors to support you through creating the work, providing targeted support throughout the production process.

Number of places each year: 30
