Making Movies 3 Practical Production is a culmination of the knowledge and introductory practical components from Making Movies 1 & 2, designed to synthesize these experiences within a focused and immersive filmmaking intensive.
This hands-on, in-person filmmaking workshop spans two consecutive weekends (4 days). Guided by seasoned film practitioners/tutors, students collaborate in small teams to script and shoot two short films across the intensive period. Script development and filming occur within our cutting-edge film studios, utilizing the professional filmmaking equipment of the film and television school.
This subject is aimed at instilling newcomers to filmmaking with the confidence that creating a film is achievable through enthusiasm, passion, dedication, teamwork, meticulous coordination, and a compelling concept. Throughout the intensive, participants will forge connections and collaborate with potential future filmmaking partners, fostering a dynamic environment for creative exploration and growth.
