Film Practice

Writing the Short Film

Post Production 1

This module introduces you to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within contemporary creative practice. It is designed to develop awareness, confidence, and a basic critical understanding of how AI is used across creative disciplines.

You will be introduced to the ways AI intersects with areas such as writing, media production, performance, audio, and visual design. Early teaching provides an accessible overview of key ideas including authorship, originality, bias, and ethical considerations.

Following this, you will undertake an individual exploration into the use of AI within a chosen creative context or area of practice. This exploration may involve practical experimentation, comparison of outputs, or a combination of both.

The emphasis of the module is on exploration rather than technical mastery. You will be encouraged to try out AI tools, observe their effects, and begin to recognise your own judgement in relation to the outputs you produce.

This module aims to engage you with the fundamental practices and underpinning principles of camera operation, sound capture, and lighting for screen‑based production.

Through a combination of practical workshops and guided exercises, you will develop an understanding of how technical and creative choices impact visual and audio outcomes.

The module focuses on building core technical confidence, encouraging you to apply industry‑informed techniques in a range of controlled production scenarios. By the end of the module, you will be able to practically demonstrate essential skills in camera, sound, and lighting at a competent and proficient level, forming a foundation for more advanced production work and collaborative practice.

This module introduces you to the fundamental principles of narrative design for the screen. Lectures and screenings deconstruct how stories are built, sustained, and resolved across a wide range of screen narratives and forms.

You will learn the core underpinnings of screen story – character, structure, conflict, theme, and genre – while appreciating how different disciplines (production, directing, writing, audio, VFX, production design, editing, cinematography, etc.) contribute to and shape narrative meaning. Core focuses concern the nature and importance of creative collaboration, artistic vision and voice, and ‘influencers’ from the past and historical contexts.

The module is not practice-based in production terms, but analytical and creative, encouraging a critical eye and a passionate engagement. It prepares you to write better scripts, shoot more purposeful coverage, design more expressive sound and visuals, and critique media more intelligently.

This module provides foundational training in video production, introducing key technical and procedural skills across contemporary digital film practice.

Working in groups, you develop core competencies in the five principal areas of production: camera, sound, lighting, editing, and delivery.

Through practical work, the module explores processes spanning pre-production, production, and post-production, while promoting safe working practices. It also fosters transferable skills in teamwork, planning, and time management, supporting the development of foundational professional craft skills.

This module introduces you to the craft of writing for short film, focusing on how ideas are translated into concise, visually driven screen narratives.

The short film is explored as a distinct storytelling form with its own conventions, including economy of storytelling, clarity of premise, and effective audience engagement. You will be encouraged to think in terms of action, behaviour, and visual storytelling, rather than description or exposition.

The module is designed for students from a range of creative disciplines, including screenwriting, film production, performance, and media. It provides accessible entry points for those with little or no prior writing experience, while also enabling more experienced writers to develop and refine their practice.

You will develop two original short screenplay projects, allowing you to explore different narrative approaches and apply core storytelling principles across multiple ideas.

This module introduces you to the fundamental principles and practices of post-production, providing a foundation in key technical and creative workflows.

You will explore core post-production specialisms: editing, sound design and mixing (including ADR and Foley), colour grading, visual effects, and delivery workflows, developing an understanding of how these processes contribute to the creation of a completed screen-based artefact.

Through a combination of theoretical study and practical application, the module builds essential knowledge and skills in post-production processes, enabling you to produce a portfolio of post-production work.

The projects support the development of discipline-specific technical, creative, and analytical skills to a standard appropriate for progression to major projects and career preparation. Most projects will require team/group work and collaboration, sometimes between degree pathways, reflecting industry practice wherever possible.

You should engage with non-practical forms of inquiry (e.g., essays, reports, case studies, critical analyses) alongside practical production, fostering critical reflection and research literacy.

The module prepares you to evaluate your own work against professional, academic, or audience-facing criteria, articulating strengths, weaknesses, and lessons for future practice. This will in most cases involve team/group work on the projects themselves, and working to fixed delivery deadlines across both semesters.

Alongside the project(s) outcomes, be that written or practical, students document and critically reflect upon their research, creative influences, production processes, and final outcomes through a structured individual portfolio.

All productions/projects should be analysed using the BFI Albert Sustainable Production Framework.

This module aims to build upon your previous practical and theoretical learning by developing a more advanced understanding of the key concepts, aesthetics, and professional practices of digital cinematography.

The module supports increasing independence in workflow management and technical decision-making, culminating in the production of a portfolio of post-production artefacts that demonstrate applied creative and technical post-production practice within specified constraints.

Sound for Moving Image

Optional

The module aims to elucidate the technical and creative processes that help to create great sonic storytelling in film and moving-image production.

Building on experiences that you have had with sound during the course, the module introduces further techniques required for capturing and generating sound.

Recording skills on set and on location are taught and practised, covering the use of portable recording equipment, boom operation, wireless mics and timecode synchronisation techniques. You will also further your understanding of Sound Design and Audio post-production techniques, building on what you have covered during the first year.

The module will provide you with the opportunity to explore the craft of directing actors. Focusing on the relationship and communication established between director and actor, you will be expected to engage with analysis and practice throughout.

The module will consider the different styles and approaches used in the forms of cinema and television drama, and you will be encouraged to apply this to your own work.

Writing the TV Script

This module focuses on the development and writing of a complete television episode, enabling you to apply your understanding of character, structure, and series design within a sustained piece of screenwriting.

You will develop an original pilot episode for a television series, addressing both the demands of a contained narrative and the requirements of an ongoing series. The module emphasises narrative progression, character-driven storytelling, and the craft of writing for television.

The module introduces and develops key principles of character, structure, and series design, enabling you to shape an original idea into a structured television screenplay.

Prioritising drafting and redrafting, it will encourage you to refine your work through feedback and iterative development.

The module emphasises the increased cultural visibility and influence of online documentary formats and encourages students to consider and appreciate both traditional narrative forms of documentary storytelling and modern emergent documentary practices.

You will work independently to produce a five‑minute documentary, drawing on prior knowledge and expanding your skills in research, interviewing, shooting, producing and editing.

A research portfolio supports the development of your film and demonstrates your ability to conduct, annotate and apply research from multiple sources.

This module supports you in developing a professional creative portfolio that clearly communicates your skills, identity and ambitions within the creative industries. It builds on work produced across earlier modules and focuses on curation, presentation and strategy, rather than volume of output.

You will be encouraged to create either a simple online portfolio website using an appropriate portfolio‑building platform, or a professionally designed PDF portfolio for those who prefer an offline alternative. You will also be invited to explore show reels as a critical component of some creative portfolios. Overall, the emphasis is on clarity, selection and intent, ensuring that work is framed appropriately for its intended audience.

Alongside portfolio creation, the module introduces key principles of personal branding, creative entrepreneurship and career sustainability. You will develop a forward‑looking plan that outlines your intended career direction over the next five years, how your portfolio will support this trajectory, how you will maintain engagement with the industry, and how you intend to adapt your practice in a changing creative landscape.

The module is highly independent and student‑led, encouraging you to take ownership of your creative identity, reflect on prior learning, and articulate purposeful next steps beyond graduation.

Nine dedicated edit suites, including a Soho-standard dubbing and mastering suite

A screening theatre, designed for group critiques, narrative analysis, assessment screenings and public showcases

From rushes to final delivery, students keep their projects in-house, building confidence, autonomy, and professional fluency.

Audio, sound and scoring for screen

Sound is treated as a core creative discipline within the Film School experience:

Professional recording studios and live rooms, supporting dialogue recording, sound design, Foley and scoring

Access to industry-standard audio software and control rooms used across film, TV and media production

This enables students to understand sound as a storytelling tool, not simply a technical add-on.

Learn with industry tools – not simulations

Film School students work in dedicated Mac and PC production suites, fully equipped with the software used across the screen industries, including professional editing, colour grading, sound and post-production platforms. Teaching spaces are designed for hands-on learning, collaboration and critique, reflecting real-world creative workflows rather than classroom-only delivery.

A Film School connected to industry

The Tech Park is deliberately conceived as a shared educational and professional environment:

Facilities are used for live briefs, visiting professionals, client projects and external productions

Courses are shaped around industry expectations, ensuring graduates leave with strong portfolios, production experience and confidence working in professional settings

Students don’t just study film – they operate as filmmakers, supported by staff with industry backgrounds and facilities that encourage ambition.

Our sound stage is one of just three in the UK capable of holding a professional orchestra. The space has been used by renowned companies including Apple TV, ITV and the London Met Orchestra, and is also used by our students to bring their masterpieces to life.
