Overview

No matter what experience you have of filmmaking, our course will develop your knowledge of factual UK TV and digital media content production, and your creative skills, to an advanced level.

Along the way, you’ll make seven films of different lengths and write a dissertation on a media subject that excites and interests you.

Focusing on two key roles, the director and the producer (which in current factual programming are merged into one), you’ll explore the dynamics of this ever-changing industry, and what it takes to succeed.

You’ll learn to become a visual storyteller, a communicator, a collaborator, a motivator and a problem solver. You’ll also develop skills in scheduling, production managing, budgeting and marketing programmes.

Although the emphasis is on factual programming, there is scope and flexibility to develop more creative films.

Careers

The Film and Television Production course at Anglia Ruskin University will prepare you for a career in TV or in the broader media, and help you to decide which areas of the industry attract you the most.

Although the emphasis is on directing and producing, you might choose to move into cinematography, production management or even television programme sales once you graduate.

You might also develop a particular interest in observational documentary, natural history films or science programming, and decide to follow a career in these fields.
