L4 Film Production

This course is perfect for filmmakers who want to continue developing their skills and portfolio either in a specialist area, such as Camera, Editing, Lighting, Sound, VFX, Art Direction, Costumes or Hair & Makeup, or across a range of these disciplines. On this course you will work on a series of exciting, quick-skill building projects set by key figures within the UK film industry, which are designed to allow you to hone your skills and build your confidence working in bigger teams. The showpiece project will see you working together as one crew making a high quality, big budget, festival ready short film!

You will work as a crew of 25 people on a professional, festival ready short film with a budget of £10-30k. Everyone develops an idea through treatment/scripts which are developed with industry experts and then you will pitch for your role on the production. Each role is given a mentor who works in the industry, offering support and guidance throughout the project. All the while, this experience makes a valuable contribution to your CV’s, showreels and portfolios. Finally, you will be supported through entering the film into film festivals.
