Screenwriting And Media Production with Foundation Year
Course Summary
This highly creative course nurtures your unique individual voice as a writer while helping you to develop the technical skills you’ll need to express your vision. It offers the knowledge and employability skills needed to succeed in film, TV and multi-platform media and supports your personal development as a rounded creative person.
The media and creative industries are flourishing and the North West is the key digital powerhouse outside of London. Traditional career routes in areas such as film and TV continue to seek new recruits, but exciting opportunities are also available with the broad range of organisations that now need moving images for their websites, social media platforms and promotional adverts. They want people who can create new and interesting content using their great story-telling skills and sound knowledge of the production process and workflow. This course aims to prepare you for a career in this exciting sector and offers transferable employability skills such as resilience, adaptability and team-working that are highly attractive to employers.
Beginning with a foundation year designed to nurture your development of core analytical and key study skills for the creative disciplines, this creative, practical and industry-focused course gives you the chance to experience all aspects of the pre-production, filming and post-production workflow in film, TV and multi-platform formats – before deciding which areas you want to specialise in. It’s ideal if you’re a writer who wants to take control of your creativity and make your own stories come alive, instead of waiting for someone else to do this.
Our lecturers and technical staff will support you as you develop a wide range of technical, writing and creative skills. We’ll also encourage you to develop critical thinking skills, enabling you to challenge, question and explore the world around you and feed this into your creative work.
Our experienced team take pride in getting to know our students as individuals, and you can become part of our welcoming and supportive production family. Offering you the chance to share in our immense wealth of award-winning industry experience, this course allows you to explore the various gateways into the vibrant media industry in North West England.
