The Film School teaches with HD and Film to introduce you to working with both mediums. The BA (Hons) Filmmaking undergraduate degree introduces you to a variety of film genres and styles and covers the principal creative and technical skills and roles that are found in the film industry including screenwriting, directing, cinematography, producing, production sound mixing, editing, lighting/gaffer, continuity/script supervision and production management.
