Course Overview

From your first semester, you'll be introduced to the use of video equipment, group work, and key roles of the production team and facilities, and produce a short drama on digital video. As you move through the course, you can choose to focus on the theoretical study of film or the practical side of filmmaking. If you can't decide and enjoy both, you can continue to give both equal weightings. Students who choose the film production route have the opportunity to screen their film at the British Film Institute, Southbank (BFI), at the end of year three. We currently offer a module on career preparation, so you can understand your career choices, refine your interests, evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, and present a creditable application. There's also an opportunity to earn course credits by undertaking a work placement in any area of the creative industries: TV, film, online and print media, arts and campaign organizations, museums, art galleries, theatres, or community projects.
