Media Production
Our Media Production degree is designed to develop your production skills in screenwriting and video production in the context of a conventional industry model.
It will be of particular interest to students who would like to undertake a practical component to enhance and develop their theoretical understanding of the media, but it can also be studied with a carefully chosen range of alternative subjects. On this course, you will consider real world issues such as audience needs and effective team working whilst engaged on production activity that emulates professional practices. This may include working with actors, managing projects for real clients or pitching project ideas to a panel of tutors and professional film-makers.
From time to time students may be invited to contribute to practical staff research projects in film making as well, and engagement with relevant contemporary practice is also encouraged through regular annual attendance at the ‘Encounters’ short film festival.
