Overview

The MA Filmmaking at Nottingham Trent University is suitable for all creative practitioner’s keen to undertake research-informed projects in the continuously transforming field of independent and experimental filmmaking.

What you’ll study

The curriculum has flexible features to enable students to direct their own journey. It is highly personalised to support students entering from different backgrounds and experience, this particularly includes experimentation in the first part of the year and the negotiation of the personal film project.

Students may arrive with varying degrees of technical skills, and so there is a range of technical workshops and drop-in support for students to 'up-skill' and personalise their development.

Individual objectives will be discussed and agreed, with appropriate support and learning strategies in place to enable students the necessary academic and technical skills to progress their project and into their chosen career.

Culture and Collaboration, delivered at the start of the course, enables students from all post-graduate courses in the School to come together. This will support sharing of practice and networks, where students can learn from each otherto build supportive relationships extending their skills throughout the course.

Students negotiate their own project outputs providing a more personalised experience tailored not only to their individual strengths, but also to their career intentions.

Filmmaking equipment is available ensuring all students are supported.
