Study Details: MA: 18 months full-time
This is a unique 18 month course that mirrors real international, independent film production. It is about practical filmmaking, collaboration, project development and creativity.
Taught in our very own Northern Film School, we place every creative role at the heart of the filmmaking process.The course is driven by filmmaking itself, but you will also focus on theory – we want you to think, research, discuss and watch films. We encourage ideas based around independent filmmaking and look for inspired stories and concepts on which to base our productions. We will also supply funding for your masters’ project.
We accept students in the following specialisms: creative producers, screenwriters, directors, cinematographers, production designers, designers and editors to make narrative film, documentary and experimental film. If you have new ideas or another way of doing things, we will look at that too.
Applicants should either have at least a second class honours degree or have equivalent experience or training, normally from within the work environment. All suitable candidates will be required to submit a portfolio or showreel. Candidates based overseas will be supported to undertake this electronically and/or by telephone. All applications should be supported by a reference, either academic or professional. All applicants should satisfy our University English language requirements.
IELTS 6.0 with no skills below 5.5, or an equivalent qualification. The University provides excellent support for any applicant who may be required to undertake additional English language courses.
