With our BA Film and Television course, pursue your passion for films and apply what you learn through practical filmmaking. You will blend practical work with the theoretical study of film from the late nineteenth century to the modern day. Alongside this, you can investigate television from its origins in the mid-twentieth century to contemporary engagements with new media and digital platforms. The focus is on your development into a critically informed filmmaker. You will gain academic knowledge and practical skills, with opportunities to collaborate on films and television programmes in the final two years. In addition to learning the histories and meanings of film, you will receive technical training in a range of creative techniques, such as editing, sound and lighting design, and television studio production. In the first year of the degree, you will have the opportunity to watch, interpret and debate a wide range of film and television, including documentary, Soviet cinema and the work of Alfred Hitchcock. This enables you to build up a strong foundational knowledge of, and appreciation for, how stories and images work. Alongside these studies, you will learn key production and post-production skills, and start to explore what it means to apply critical ideas in a practical context. In the second year, you will delve into work within and beyond classical and conventional narrative traditions. Optional modules allow you to investigate a variety of areas in detail, from genre and authorship in Hollywood and international cinema, to avant-garde, art film, political and feminist cinema. You will also have the opportunity to select theatre modules, such as Performance and Nation. Throughout this year you will engage with group-based practical work in either film or television, work that develops your ability to creatively respond to different movements, practitioners and historical periods – allowing you to develop your own distinctive storytelling and practical skills. This builds towards a 6-minute film or television piece developed across the second half of the year. In your final year, you'll deepen your knowledge and understanding of the subject through research-based modules. These are based around our academics’ current world-leading research and are all discussion-based, allowing you to engage with cutting-edge thought. Your practical work across the degree will culminate in either a collaborative 10-minute film or a written dissertation. You'll try out different production roles and develop a range of skills and techniques while also developing your academic knowledge. This degree is designed with the interaction between theory and practical work at its core, giving you plenty of opportunities to develop both your critical and technical skills. You will be based in Minghella Studios, a purpose-built study environment. **Careers** 97% of our graduates are in work or further study within 15 months of the end of their course (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2017/18; First Degree responders from Film, Theatre & Television).
