This MA offers you the chance to develop your film-making and critical skills in a supportive and stimulating environment. It is led by award-winning producers and taught by highly experienced practitioners with wide expertise in creating moving images. Through a series of projects and exercises you learn to develop, pitch, research, script, budget, shoot and edit, with 24-hour access to the School?s broadcast-standard equipment including HD cameras and a range of post-production facilities. You develop a portfolio of films and master all the different aspects of producing a good documentary ? conceptual, organisational, technical and industrial. You take seminars exploring key issues in contemporary and historical examples of the genre alongside your practical workshops. Your final 20-minute film allows you to develop your own voice by conceiving and realising a personal project. The programme is unique in offering you the chance not only to make films for the single screen but also to create work across other platforms and in other media of your choice, such as the web, photography and mobile media. Further options allow you to pursue your specific interests through a broader study of media theory and research methods. The School benefits from strong connections with local and national media companies and visiting specialists in key areas of production regularly provide input into this programme.
