What will I learn?

OVERVIEW

Watching films has become China’s national pastime. There is a thirst for stories that hold audiences spellbound; and you can now learn how to tell them.

Have you ever sat in a cinema and thought, 'I want to tell stories like that!’? Have you ever wanted to work on real film productions with real movie stars? If you have the passion to communicate your thoughts and your stories on the big screen, this programme is for you.

The BA Filmmaking is a practice-based programme that fosters creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation. You will learn to make films both for the small screen and for cinema consumption.

Your practice will include notions of the creative producer, directing for both documentaries and drama, storytelling, cinematography, sound design, and editing, as well as marketing films worldwide.
