Programme outline

Learn it by making it.

The final timetable may adapt to the cohort, but these practical areas form the core learning journey.

Shape a focused idea, treatment, shot list and practical production plan.

Control focus, exposure, composition, movement and coverage with intention.

Use available light well and record clearer dialogue with accessible tools.

Build a coherent cut, balance sound and colour, add titles and export correctly.

Your working process

Teaching is connected to a practical task, and feedback is connected to work you have actually made.

Understand the tools, choices and professional habits behind the work.

Apply each lesson to an original piece rather than a disconnected exercise.

Present the work, receive focused feedback and strengthen the final version.
