The programme offers a practical and aesthetic perspective on the film industry and cinematic techniques. In contemporary society, the development of culture industries such as film, television and the Internet  has led to a surge in the number of people producing visual material for a trans-global market, including related areas in film production administration, archiving and distribution.The study of film production provides a practical way of thinking about these developments within the framework of academic study and offers ways of understanding this very important development in contemporary culture.Study places aesthetic, practical skills and knowledge within the wider filmmaking process in order to understand their role in creating meaning in film artefacts through the combination of various skills, techniques and technologies. At the centre of the course is a clear practical and theoretical film focus; here, the course team encourages and supports the development of students' personal notions  and ideologies as a means to develop filmic stories, which are realised in the production of their creative films through drama, documentary and experimental forms.The course also examines and engages with film criticism, cinema history, the production process and cultural  issues surrounding film so that students can develop wider perspectives on the use and function of film production.FacilitiesOpen 24 hours a day, the Multimedia Centre offers outstanding industry-standard facilities including two HD TV studios with green screens, a newsroom, a computerised radio studio, and facilities for multitrack audio recording. A wide range of equipment is available and the Centre is an Apple Certified Training Centre.
