Film Academy

The course is the perfect preparation for a degree or career in Film. By developing the practical skills which are not taught in schools, students leave the programme with advantageous strengths. The project-based learning style in which students work collaboratively to create and create a Film can form the basis of a compelling portfolio for university or job applications.

The course is very hands-on. While there is some classroom learning focused on essential filmmaking knowledge, it is mostly focused on developing practical skills. This gives students the opportunity to get comfortable using equipment they would be unlikely to ordinarily have access to, and gives them time to develop a project from idea to screening.

A typical morning involves a lecture from an industry expert or other inspiring speaker, or a skills-focused. The rest of the morning and the first half of the afternoon is spent working on students’ projects. They will either be shooting on location or working on post-production, depending on how far into the programme they are. The rest of the day is spent socialising with friends during activities, enjoying delicious meals in inspiring campus settings and exploring the city.
