Course programme

Year One

Just like the film industry, this course will require you to develop a demandingly broad range technical knowledge and production skills.

The assessment methods used reflect the BSc philosophy, with focus on your technical craft and production skills, processes used, and justification of technical and creative decisions.

The first year of the course focuses on developing your fundamental skills and knowledge in all areas of film production. You will explore the nature of sound and light, and how to work with them on location and in a studio environment. You will be introduced to camera, light, audio and grip equipment, and how to operate these effectively and safely. You will perform camera and lighting tests and learn to capture audio and video, while producing and editing documentaries and film scenes.
