You'll be guided through all stages of the creative content-making process to complete a short film, documentary or full-length screenplay/script on this challenging course. You will be taught and mentored by staff who are experienced in the film and TV industry and knowledgeable about its opportunities for employment and commissioning. They will use their extensive professional network to help you find opportunities and placements. You will join a vibrant and supportive community of creative content makers, and be encouraged to experiment, take creative risks and find your talent and voice. We have high-spec film-making equipment available for you to use, including RED and ARRI digital cameras and traditional celluloid or ‘35mm’ film. This MA also ensures you build up the commercial awareness and interpersonal skills you will need to succeed in the industry. For instance, we’ll cover pitching technique and how to articulate and sell your ideas. You will explore the wider, more complex problems posed by content production as well, and develop theoretical understanding so you can appreciate the context (historical, social, commercial, environmental, international) of your own and others’ creative work.
Applicants are normally expected to hold an appropriate first degree in Film, Writing, or a related discipline (minimum 2:2), a professional qualification of equivalent standing, or substantial practical or professional experience gained after their initial qualification that supports their application. Depending on qualifications, experience, and the quality of their portfolio, applicants may be invited to attend an interview, either at the University or online. During the interview, applicants are expected to present their portfolio and provide a plan outlining how they intend to use the MA programme to further develop their practice.
