Dive right into the world of filmmaking and devise, shoot and edit your very own short film in collaboration with your class mates with our Short Film Course. As you take part in this creative filmmaking challenge you will develop all the filmmaking skills you need to begin making films of your own.
You will devise a concept, storyboard and script your short film as a group with the support of your tutor. You will then form a tight knit production crew, rotating roles to shoot and direct in the piece, before editing your group's creation to take home with you at the end of the course. Actors will be provided to bring your creations to life!
Our short filmmaking course is suitable for beginners, so as well as developing creative and practical filmmaking skills, you will also cover all the basic technical knowledge you need to know to operate DSLR cameras, light scenes, record audio and edit film.
