“I now know how to schedule and I have been able to learn the basics of editing and how to make a film with very little. I’ve learnt how to use sound to enhance my piece and learnt how to use Final Cut Pro.”

All filmmaking and editing equipment will be provided but you will need to provide any props you want to use in your production. You may wish to bring your own SD card to record onto as you can then ensure access and security of material. Your tutor will advise you at the start of the course.
