Film

This course is for those who want to tell stories and express themselves through the medium of filmmaking. Our BA (Hons) Film is dedicated to teaching practice-based filmmaking. Throughout the four years, you will develop and create dramas, documentaries, and experimental films. You will write scripts, shoot films, and submerge yourselves in cinema culture and tradition. You will work both individually and in teams to create powerful films that develop your own creative voice. Named by Variety Magazine in 2020 as one of the world’s top film schools, the National Film School at IADT has taught film and television for over 30 years. Graduates work in all sectors of the industry and have won or been nominated for international awards and festivals, including the Academy Awards, Berlin Film Festival, and Cannes. It provides students with a challenging and creative environment to develop the practical and critical skills necessary to realize their storytelling abilities. In years 1 and 2, you will learn practical and technical skills in script writing, production, direction, cinematography, editing, and sound across a range of fiction, non-fiction, and experimental work. In the last two years, you will have specialized in two of these craft areas. What will I do? Learn practical skills in production, script, direction, cinematography, lighting, sound, editing, drama, documentary, commercials, promotional, non-narrative, and educational programming. Learn all the modern online and traditional distribution modes. Get hands-on production experience, and access to world-class facilities to advance your practical filmmaking skills while developing strong and creative storytelling abilities. Work industry placement takes place in Years 3 and informally throughout the four years. Opportunities to study abroad exist through our Erasmus Programme. 60% of modules are shared in full or in part with BA [Hons] television.
