Film

Overview

With emphasis on collaboration, this Film course from Edinburgh Napier University  has been designed to help you embark on a career as a professional fiction filmmaker in one of the following disciplines:

• producing
• directing
• cinematography
• editing
• location sound recording and design

Teaching is through a combination of collaborative shared modules and modules that focus on individual disciplines.  The two core practice-based modules complement each other, concentrating on professional practice within the framework of the industry crew structure.

Coursework consists of a large number of practical exercises, workshops and short film projects that allow students to deepen their own technical, creative and professional filmmaking skills. The course also includes a degree of research in your chosen discipline, and a theoretical module on critical film study.

The year's work and study culminates in a major project module in which students continue to work collaboratively, in their chosen disciplines, on one or more short scripted dramas.
