The course provides an introduction to the basic skills required for fiction filmmaking. It gives hands-on experience of the film process: from pre-production to post-production. Students are introduced to the ways in which framing, camera movement, lighting, sound, editing, and other technical processes are instrumental in developing film form. Classes cover such topics as how shots are framed, how filmmaking affects acting, and 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, devising their own projects under the guidance of their tutor.
