A hands-on programme for individuals aiming to work in the film industry, with a focus on in-depth training in professional equipment. Learn to use AI tools to streamline student productions and prepare for technological innovations.
In the Film Production programme, AI is introduced as part of broader discussions about how the film industry is changing. The focus is not on providing hands-on training in modern AI-based tools, but on understanding how AI can support more efficient workflows, particularly in pre-production and production planning.
Students will explore how digital tools, including AI-assisted processes, may be used to improve planning, organisation, and workflow. This helps prepare students to adapt to changes in the industry while maintaining a strong focus on storytelling, collaboration, practical filmmaking, and creative decision-making.
AI is becoming part of the wider conversation around efficiency and workflow in the film industry, especially in areas such as planning, organisation, and some automated post-production processes. However, AI does not currently play a central or significant role in the Film Production programme.
The programme’s main emphasis remains on practical film production skills, creative development, teamwork, and professional workflows. Students are encouraged to understand how the industry is evolving, including the potential role of AI, while developing the core skills needed to work as filmmakers.
This program is for those aspiring to be directors, screenwriters, producers, or work in cinematography, editing, or sound design.
