About this course
**Course Summary**
The BA (Hons) Hair and Make Up for Screen and Film course has been created via in-depth and ongoing industry feedback coupled with a thorough knowledge of academic delivery of this specialist subject. This course reflects current high demands for professionally ready, technically skilled Hair and Make-Up graduates equipped with vital creative, practical and production skills to go into the industry.
Fundamental to the delivery of this course, is the teaching of hair and make-up within the broader Screen and Film School environment. This unique symbiotic arrangement will enable students to hone specialist design skills in the classroom and test them out in live film projects. Thus, students will gain understanding of their place within film production and build a network of peers, alongside whom they can progress throughout their education and on, into the workplace.
In Year 1, students will be introduced via core modules to fundamental design and application skills and will gain insight into roles and relationships within the hair and make-up departments and the wider industry. Modules introducing SFX (Special Effects) and collaboration will further enhance skills and the ability to support live film projects throughout the three years. This learning can be underpinned by short film productions taught in collaboration with BA Hons Production Design for Screen and Film and BA Hons Filmmaking enhancing an understanding of the film and related creative industries, critical analysis and overarching film craft.
In Year 2, via specialist optional modules, students will further develop their skills in hair and make-up through theoretical and live projects focusing on design and application for both traditional and modern techniques. At the heart of this approach, is the wide breadth of specialisms on offer from the traditional crafts like wig-making to cutting edge prosthetics and digital SFX. The level 5 core modules will support the realisation of these skills with the production of two short form films, one in each semester.
As students’ progress from Year 2 to Year 3 they will develop and refine their creative and technical proficiency, research methods and personal professional development. The final year also comprises of an in-depth personal design project and the development and production of a final live film in collaboration with BA Hons Production Design for Screen and Film and BA Hons Filmmaking students. The course will be delivered by experienced practitioners who combine their academic teaching with relevant and current professional practice
