Course summary

For you if you’re interested in the technicalities and creative possibilities of film, animation and moving image. Projects will include: • Storyboarding. • camera techniques and composition. • editing, cropping and pacing. • the quality of lighting used in location work. • the use of sound and its interaction with moving images and text. • using appropriate industry-standard computer software such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects. You’ll create your own films and animations, developing technical skills in the use of computers and Adobe creative software. You will also learn to be technically able to use a manual digital SLR, using your own camera and creating short films, from pre-production to final outcome. As a moving image maker, you’ll be encouraged to share your films, entering competitions for young filmmakers, where highly original and creative work has enjoyed considerable award-winning success. Other opportunities that will get you ready for the world of work have included filming and editing for local events. There will also be opportunities built into the course for you to meet and work with local artists, visit galleries nationally and immerse yourselves in the creative world.
