Subject

Media production

A practice based course which helps you develop your craft of storytelling, studio production and film making

- Excellent film and TV facilities.

- Taught by staff with industry experience.

- Opportunity for cross community collaboration with other students, for example scriptwriting and drama students.

Supported by Pinewood Studios Group, this hands-on course in film, television and digital production will give you the skills that successful film and television professionals need.

You’ll learn how to design and create film and television content and formats. We’ll immerse you in film and TV practice and theory, teaching you how to apply a variety of crafts and digital technologies.

In the first two years, you’ll gain grounding in the core elements relating to film and television production. In your final year, you’ll have the opportunity to specialise, developing an individualised programme of work tailored to your interests.

You’ll develop practical and creative projects highlighting your technical and craft skills. Alongside this you’ll demonstrate critical and theoretical understanding. Throughout the course, you’ll have opportunities to work on group and individual projects, developing your skills and creative ideas.

You’ll develop skills for working life, such as decision making in complex and unpredictable contexts, working in groups, analysing data, and making use of technical and creative resources.

You’ll become a socially engaged global citizen, with intercultural and global understandings and perspectives, and an awareness of innovation and social entrepreneurship.

Modules

In Year 1 you’ll study single camera production and TV studio production. In addition you’ll engage in some contextual work, for example film and TV theory and formats.

Year 2 will see you continue your work in single camera production and advanced TV production, along with specialist modules in digital effects. Again you’ll study context in areas such as scriptwriting, popular cinema and world cinema.

Finally, Year 3 will be project led, with the opportunity to engage in collaborative productions, professional practice, advanced post-production and complete and individualised practice-based project. In these projects you’ll benefit from close staff supervision.

Assessment methods

Assessment is through coursework. This will be a combination of project and group work, practice-based portfolios, seminar presentations and individual essays.
