Subject

Film production

This is a practical course which aims to develop creative craft skills in visual storytelling.

At its core, the course imbeds current discussions on film and screen culture through the production of practical work across different media platforms for participation in the world arena, whilst contributing to the debate on how film is received and consumed in today's world.

Industry craft skills are taught in production and post-production techniques and constant access to industry standard equipment and software. This supports the teaching and learning of these skills with a view to creating narratives in differing contexts and for differing purposes.

**This course is delivered and awarded by Warwickshire College and is regulated by the Office for Students (OfS).**
