BA (Hons) Film Practice has been developed for students with a passion for independent cinema – both documentary and fiction. The course is hands-on and industry-oriented, with a strong practical emphasis on single-camera digital production.
You’ll be introduced to professional models of practice in the various disciplines of production and come to understand how those disciplines intersect in the pursuit of a common cinematic goal.
The course is collaborative and promotes teamwork over the auteur, or director-led model of production.
We prefer a structure that reflects professional realities: producer-lead, with semi-autonomous heads of department working with directors to realise a shared vision.
You’ll also benefit from London College of Communication's excellent location which has easy access to the British Film Institute, Tate Modern and The Cinema Museum. The College is also home to the Stanley Kubrick Archive from where films are screened for seminars and guest lectures.
