This course will give you a thorough understanding of film by combining the production with the theory of visual digital media. Delve into practical film and video-making, scriptwriting, filming and editing, whilst honing your critical analysis and research skills to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the film and TV industries work. You will benefit from our fantastic editing suites which have up-to-date production software including: Adobe Creative Cloud Avid Media Composer Avid ProTools, and Final Cut Pro. We also have a range of high quality camera, sound, lighting, and grip equipment ready for you to use. These resources will allow you to bring your ideas, thoughts and creations to life. To complement your learning you’ll watch weekly screenings of a film or programme relevant to the topic being studied followed by a lecture that covers some of the key ideas and theories of film and television. After the lecture you have the opportunity to contribute to group discussions and share ideas with others in your seminars. This format allows you to develop a strong understanding of what goes into the entertainment on our screens, and gives you the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with your peers. As well as enhancing your learning by attending screenings at the British Film Institute, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and other cinemas across the capital, you will also be eligible to enter our annual Brunel University Film Festival (BUFF) with categories including Best Fiction, Best Non-Fiction and Best Overall Film. This will allow you to put what you have learnt into practice and will give you the opportunity to showcase your talent.
