As a student on this collaborative and practical degree, you will develop the skills for both creative and technical film, television and theatre production.
Throughout the three years, you can create screen and theatre productions that showcase your skills and the ability to create new and original content for film and contemporary theatre practice.
There are opportunities to specialise in producing, directing, cinematography, scriptwriting, post-production and sound/lighting in film, television and theatre.
You will use cutting-edge Black Magic 4K camera technology as well as traditional Super 16mm film using Arriflex cameras in dedicated film and theatre studios and performance space. Students have access to industry – standard software such as Premiere Pro and Avid.
Working closely with other programmes – including acting, costume, photography, visual effects and production design – students will experience a fully rounded and holistic teaching environment, providing access to a complete and collaborative production process which mirrors the workings the industry.
At the end of the three year programme, you have a broad showreel of work for your next steps into professional practice.
There is the opportunity on a minimum of ten productions; however, due to the collaborative nature of the programme you may find yourself involved in even more.
You will work for live clients and submit for festivals and competitions throughout the programme, including the 16mm Kodak Commercial Awards, RTS Awards and National Student Drama Festival. In 2018, students worked on a BFI funded feature film Looted (released in November 2020). In 2019, students worked on Channel 4 ‘Sparks’ and BBC’s Children in Need.
