Course Overview

The course considers a wide range of filmmaking conventions, from theory, practice, and industry perspectives. Not only will you gain an understanding of Hollywood cinema conventions (from silent cinema to modern blockbuster spectaculars), but you will apply these storytelling techniques to a variety of production scenarios. As well as looking at American filmmaking conventions, you will also be introduced to other international traditions of cinema that range from European perspectives of documentary to Bollywood film and beyond. A key focus of the course will be on the aesthetic and creative aspects of filmmaking, with consideration being given to both mainstream and experimental modes of film creation, as well as how these traditions are mediated by differing production and postproduction techniques. Whilst theoretical and practice-based considerations of filmmaking techniques remain a central focus of the award, the course also provides modules on film festival programming and film entrepreneurship, which help provide core skills relevant to the film industry.
