Filmmaking

Overview

The Filmmaking Specialisation provides students with the skills necessary to produce relevant, innovative, and challenging screen art. The program supports the development of students' critical, practical, and creative understanding of all relevant aspects of film making needed to positively impact a rapidly evolving screen industry.

In a deeply collaborative learning environment and with mentoring from staff and industry guests, students will develop the interpersonal, technical, and intellectual skills that will enable them to effectively lead creative projects and support the creativity of others. Students will be supported to develop their own individual screen voices and gain an understanding of both established and emerging screen cultures and storytelling cultures.
