Monday 16th January - Friday 20th January 2023, 9:30am - 3:30pm each day.

In this five-day intensive filmmaking Short Course, you’ll develop a short film script from page to screen.

You’ll be guided through a series of practical exercises, covering the major areas of writing, directing, cinematography, and postproduction. Learn how to structure, write, break down, and rehearse a short script and to plan a shoot from beginning to end, all the while working with a collective group of like-minds and actors.

At the end of the short course, students will have an understanding of:

What makes a story - structure, character and plot
Breaking down a script to make a shot list - camera, lighting and audio
Working with actors
Post production - editing, online and delivery

With hands-on experience operating professional cameras and sound, by the end of this short course, students will not only understand the inner workings of the filmmaking process but also get to finish a short film!

Please bring a hard drive, as at the conclusion of the short course, you may take with them the recording. These files can be used as future portfolio work or simply to take home and work on to further enhance your understanding of the skills obtained.

This short course serves as an introduction to our Film & Television undergraduate course.
