Course overview

Are you the next Spielberg, Scorsese or Soderbergh? The Bachelor of Film teaches you all the fundamentals of filmmaking, storytelling, narrative structure and interview techniques, as well as experimenting with different camera types, scenarios, editing and post production tools. With a specific focus on contemporary filmic uses of interactive media and post production technology, you'll learn how to apply high-level cinematography and visual effects to your projects using the same equipment, contemporary software, and processes that your favourite filmmakers use.

This course will also build your confidence and communication skills to manage technical and professional problems through creative solutions. We show you how to present and pitch concepts to make an impact. We mentor you on how to engage a filmmaking crew to understand, embrace and support the vision and messages of your film work.
