At this level, all students, regardless of the chosen specialisms, will gain a common understanding of all disciplines. This level of the course introduces you to a range of technical knowledge, theoretical concepts and creative opportunities.

You’ll be introduced to fundamental aspects of health and safety, which are essential within the film industry, and which continue to be reinforced throughout the course. Through practical workshops you’ll engage in many aspects of the production process, enabling an informed and guided choice of specialisms at the end of the year.

The first year of the course aims to immerse you in the community and practice of making films.

You’ll deepen your specialist learning and develop your ability to reflect on and evaluate your work. Your contextual knowledge and understanding are extended, and you become prepared for the more rigorous pace and scale of work demanded by Level 6.

Relevant health and safety practice will continue to be emphasised throughout the year of study.

Level 6

As a final year student, you’ll demonstrate your abilities within your respective specialist roles and your commitment to the collective responsibility for the production and postproduction of graduation films.

Your third year enables you to develop and consolidate your specialist production roles, building on your previous learning. You’re required to undertake significant independent study whilst also contributing effectively as a team member to the production process. At this stage you’ll also confirm your award title.
