Students on the 2nd year EAF2513 module learn how to use a wide range of film production equipment including cameras, microphones & sound recorders, lighting as well as software for editing and colour grading.
The weekly lectures cover areas such as cinematography and sound, with guest lecturers each week from our PhD Practice Film students, who talk about their projects, and weekly workshops cover techniques and processes in practice. Each student produces media each week, which they can edit into a submission documenting their practice.
As well as submitting a practical portfolio and working on their own film projects outside the module, students are also producing posters, demonstrating their learning. Guidance on ways into the industry is also included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
