MA Film Production

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MA 1 year full-time

Course Description

On the MA Film Production, the learning experience is built around practical production modules, underpinned by theory that explores key developments and debates throughout the history of cinema.

Our aim is to nurture filmmakers who can critically reflect on the form and content of both their own work and the work of others in the field.

Why choose this course?
The course is predominantly practice-based, with almost 70% of learning geared towards enabling you to produce documentary and experimental films.

For those whose interest is academic, there is also the possibility to replace the double project practice module with a dissertation.

The course closely tracks contemporary developments in digital cinematography and sound design, actively encouraging students to create transformative cinematic responses that cross the boundaries between documentary, experimental and fictive forms, amongst other approaches:

  • lyrical
  • montage
  • observational
  • self reflexive
  • poetic
  • drama-documentary.

 

These approaches challenge the existing output of broadcast, festival and on-line exhibition.

Entry Requirements

Applicants will usually have a minimum of a 2.2 honours degree from a UK university or overseas equivalent.

Each application is considered on its individual merits and professional experience is taken into account.

Student Destinations

In recent years many alumni from the course found work with production companies, broadcasters or as independent filmmakers, either in the UK, in their own country or elsewhere. We encourage our alumni to be involved with students and staff on the course and have developed a detailed database of student and alumni production expertise, to facilitate networking and the formation of crews for professional and student productions.
