Cinematography and Post Production MA/MSc

This programme is aimed at those wishing to take up positions in the film and TV production industry and includes work with key employers such as LipSync Post, coursework assignments and master classes.

Students work in 35mm, S16, 2K and 4K digital using equipment current in the industry. From October to May, students attend taught courses, and from May to September they undertake a final project. They also use the skills they build up throughout the degree to produce their own showreels.

The new demands created by the rapidly evolving post-production area will be explored from several viewpoints: technology, creativity and collaboration. This programme progresses the student through a comprehensive programme of post-production topics: editing, motion graphics, colour correction and compositing. At the same time fundamental issues, such as flexibility and quality are addressed. The student will use advanced techniques, used in industry, whilst developing their knowledge, creativity, and skills.

The studio facilities of the university will be augmented by those of One8six and ARRI these being our strategic partners in this programme and our participants during its validation. It is important to note that we have the key 35 and S16mm and digital production camera systems in house permanently available for these students to use along with the associated grip, lighting and post production software systems.

The lecturing staff have a substantial background in feature film and television production. The programme also features distinguished guest speakers.
