Description

Want to understand how filmmakers enchant their audiences from script to screen and learn how to bring your own ideas to life?

With so much media available online it’s imperative that you make films and TV programmes that cut through all the noise. From short films to television documentaries and online video, this course will give you the skills to create exciting visual media for today’s diverse platforms.

There’s nothing more important than narrative when it comes to making your content catch people’s attention. We’ll teach you the techniques of visual storytelling to create maximum impact in whichever platform you choose to tell your story. You will develop a full digital skillset to enable you to work in today’s rapidly changing media landscape.

You will learn traditional techniques of shooting, editing, sound, scriptwriting, production management and studio work, but also use a range of storytelling tools, from social media to apps, to help maximise the impact of your production. Our facilities include TV studios, specialist software and editing suites, plus a full range of camera, sound and lighting equipment for location filming. We have a dedicated team of technicians which is on hand to assist you in learning all the latest techniques.

Our graduates include BAFTA Award-winners, with others enjoying careers at ITV, the BBC and independent production companies, working on everything from Bake Off to Doctor Who and beyond. Others are running their own companies or working as freelance filmmakers.

York is a living film set, and the perfect place to develop as a media producer. It is the UK’s only UNESCO City of Media Arts, and our partnership with Screen Yorkshire means you will be based right at the heart of the country’s fastest growing film and TV production hub. Our partnership with the BAFTA-qualifying Aesthetica Short Film Festival will give you further access to expert masterclasses and networking events. There has genuinely been no more exciting time to join us!
