Filmmaking Courses at City College
The Film, TV and Video industry offers many exciting opportunities including directing, production, camera operation, sound operation, editing and script writing, as well as all the behind the scenes jobs involved in getting a project from the initial idea all the way to the screen.
Advances in camera and computer technology have meant that it is now possible to film, edit and screen films entirely in the digital format. Filmmaking courses at City College prepare you for further training and employment in this exciting and expanding industry.
Through a mixture of practical lessons and vocational projects, you will have the opportunity to develop your creative filmmaking skills. You will be taught using professional standard equipment, including Sony Z1 cameras and Mac editing suites running Final Cut Pro. You will also be encouraged to increase your academic skills in order to access a full range of progression opportunities.
Typical areas that you will study are: single camera filmmaking; multi camera filmmaking; music promos; animation; pre and post production; lighting and sound.
All teaching and assessment is based around practical, industry-related projects. Wherever possible, projects are in response to a real industrial client.
Recent projects have included training films for the Brain Injuries Rehabilitation Trust and documentaries about green travel for the Europe-wide think tank, CIVITAS.
The three courses we offer combine to provide all the skills development and qualifications necessary to progress to university or into the industry.
