ABOUT THIS COURSE
STUDY JOURNEY

What will I learn?

Whether in short online excerpts or in the cinema, storytelling is more important now than ever, and you can learn how to tell stories and bring them onto the screen.

Do you have a story to tell? Do you see the world in a visual way? Have you ever wanted to work on real film productions with real movie stars? If you have a passion for communicating your stories on the big screen, this programme is for you.

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.
