Whether you’re interested in pursuing a career from screenwriter to VFX artist, director to sound recordist and more, this course will allow you to explore a variety of avenues and behind the scenes roles within filmmaking. Over this 6-month part-time certificate course, you'll gain an insight into all elements of the filmmaking process.
This 6-month course is mainly online, every Tuesday evening and Saturday morning, over Zoom and includes a practical five day residential at the NFTS towards the end of your course. It aims to help you develop and discover your own strengths and areas of interest by drawing on Industry professionals who will share their invaluable knowledge and advice.
Over the course of the 48 classes you will focus on Screenwriting, Producing, Directing, Production Design, Cinematography, Production Management, Assistant Directing, Sound Recording, Editing, Sound Design, Composing, Visual Effects, Sales, Distribution and Exhibition.
During the course you will be put in teams with your fellow students and will develop a pitch deck for a short film ready to be cross-examined by a panel of Industry professionals half way through your course and then re-work it to be discussed again, at the end of your course.
There are five in-person days at the end of the course that will give you the chance to get involved in a number of hands-on practical workshops held at the NFTS studios in Beaconsfield.
You will graduate with an insight into practical filmmaking from one of the top film schools in the world with a much more developed and well-rounded understanding of the Industry and how films are made - which will help set you up for a long and successful career in the Industry.
