The course provides an introduction to the basic skills required for fiction filmmaking: from pre-production to post-production. Students are introduced to the ways in which framing, mise en scène, sound, editing, and other technical processes are instrumental in fiction filmmaking. Classes cover such topics such as: how shots are framed, how lighting affects the mood of a scene or how different editing techniques manipulate film narrative. Students on this course are encouraged to translate key concepts they learn on LT121 ‘Introduction to Film Studies’ into film practice. Students will work individually as well as in small groups under the guidance of their lecturer.
