Course details

Course description

In this programme, we encourage you to find individual approaches through work in:

* documentary

* drama

* experimental film

* hybrid film

Through exercises and short films, we also nurture work that challenges the norms and boundaries of filmmaking.

These experiences will help you:

* find your own creative identities

* develop skills that will help you find work in the industry

By the time you graduate you will have worked on several films in different roles.

**Practical skills**

You will gain practical experience in:

* approaches to directing and writing

* creative producing

* camerawork

* sound recording and design

* editing, colour and grading

This helps you explore how every aspect of film and every role within a crew is a means of creative expression.

We work as a film community supporting collaboration across the year groups. You will learn the teamwork and communication skills necessary to enter the film and television industries.

**Masterclasses**

You will benefit from workshops and masterclasses from internal and visiting staff, who all work and exhibit internationally in film and television.

**Design and Screen Cultures**

You will study Design and Screen Cultures courses alongside your practical studio work.

These courses give you a contextual and theoretical understanding of contemporary screen studies.

**Optional courses**

In Years 1 and 2, you can also enrol in different optional courses offered by the wider University. You should select a combination of courses that reflect your interests and enhance your main study.
