During this course, you will develop a range of academic and technical skills relevant to film production, from narrative, composition and film theory to camera testing, designing digital production workflows and post-production. Like the film industry itself, this course demands a broad range of technical and creative skills from its students.
Our course focuses on fundamental technical concepts, including the physics of sound and light being captured during production (and the tools and approaches used to do this), as well as the techniques used to digitally store and manipulate both images and audio in post-production.

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.
