Digital Film Production with Professional Placement

Course Summary

Digital Film Production with Professional Placement Want to study a Film Production degree? Our BSc (Hons) Digital Film Production course, with a Professional Placement Year, gives you the option to complete one-year of work experience in industry after your second year of study, so that you graduate with both knowledge and experience in your chosen field. Explore the fundamentals of technology in film, from narrative, composition and film theory to camera testing, designing digital production workflows and post-production. Like the film industry itself, BSc Digital Film Production enables students to exercise a broad range of technical and creative skills with the support of the university’s cutting edge facilities and software, including our Parkside Media Centre. **What's covered in the course?** The Digital Film Production degree course combines a study of audiovisual technologies and production processes, with contextual investigations and production experience. You’ll develop knowledge, understanding and skills relevant to the production of digital film content and to the wider film, television and video industries. You’ll focus on fundamental technical concepts, including the physics of sound and light being recorded during production (and the tools and techniques required to do this), as well as the technology used to digitally store and manipulate both images and audio in post-production. When you graduate, you will be versatile, technically literate, and creative: well-equipped to perform a variety of craft roles within film, television and video production and will bridge the gap between technology specialists and creative artists. Birmingham City University is a great place to study - the city has an active and accessible film-making community, and you will be studying in the same campus as undergraduates studying a range of arts, including acting, music, photography, fashion and theatre. You’ll also be encouraged to engage with industry, with a number of flexible paths to help you gain work experience, including: basing selected modules around work experience, taking a placement year and working on commercial productions within the University. **Why Choose Us?** • **Incredible opportunities** - On of our graduates, Tayyib, landed his first graduate job working on a Hollywood blockbuster film straight out of BCU. • **Outstanding facilities**  - Our  Centre for Digital Media Technology is equipped with over 1,200 sq m of facilities including two film/television studios, four multi-track recording studios, post-production suites, a MILO motion control rig and several editing and grading stations.   • **Knowledge of the fundamental aspects in film production**  - Explore the technology and science of film production, from working with light and sound, to understanding how different production and post-production tools affect images and sound you capture.       • **Highly employable graduates** - Move quickly into key production roles with the combination of technical knowledge and practical production experience from your course.
