Visual storytelling: train for a career in film and television


Visualise and create stories for screen. Combine art and science, theory and practice to explore all aspects of cinematography for single-camera film and television production.

While learning the technical, practical and aesthetic principles of lighting, you'll work with industry-standard equipment, in their creative and supportive environment. You’ll gain technical experience and will develop and shoot your own project to high professional standards. 

They'll teach you through a mix of workshops, lectures, screenings and masterclasses with leading academics and industry professionals. Their focus on practical group projects, with hands-on work, will prepare you for a career collaborating with others on set and on location.

You'll develop essential expertise for meeting the challenges of a career in film and television. Their graduates have gone on to roles in British and European film industries, and in film, TV and commercial production in China, Latin America and the Middle East.

Course content
From lighting theory and design, to camera technology and operation, and studio and location production methods including grips and electrics, you'll develop your skills in cinematography.

You'll study the practical, creative and business aspects of production for film and television. Their modules cover essential critical analysis, and you'll gain a greater understanding of the theory behind composition, lighting and making creative choices. 

As you learn the cinematographer's role in creating screen-based stories for fact and fiction productions, you'll advance your knowledge of the industry and collaborate with others to develop and shoot projects. Group work is an essential experience for the production process, enhancing your communication, problem-solving, project and resource management skills.

You'll also be able to follow your creative interests and ambition with your individual project over the Summer Term and vacation, worth half of the course credits.
