The Filmmaking & Photography major specialisation applies a holistic approach to creative fields of design, through visual narrative perspectives. This major specialisation allows you to develop, edit and refine ideas and visual storytelling skills, across a variety of creative mediums.
Commencing with still image, you will learn the practical components of digital photography in studio and location environments. Idea generation and content creation develops a strong foundation for digital workflow, image correction and composite photography. You will expand your creativity by migrating to moving image and filmmaking; working with other creatives to produce live action narrative based videos and gaining insight into digital visual effects and animation.
Students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, to render and create your stories. Initiate a studio-based photo shoot with models set against a green screen, then composite to another world in Photoshop! Find yourself out on location shooting a short film on our high-end 4k Black Magic cameras, then utilise the Adobe Creative Suite for your post-production workflow.
By graduating with a Bachelor of Design Arts and joining the ranks of LCI Melbourne alumni, you will be included amongst some of Australia’s leading and most innovative artists and designers.

LCI Melbourne aims to produce graduates who are job ready, with both the specific skills required to gain employment in their chosen area of design and the broader underpinning attributes required to develop their career over the long term.
This commitment is reflected in the structure of the Bachelor of Design Arts, which includes a series of Professional Studies units across the degree. The Professional Studies stream culminates in LCI Melbourne's Industry Placement Program, enabling students to gain on-the-job experience and build industry contacts as part of their studies.
The majority of our academic faculty are also practicing professionals with strong industry links. This ensures that our students are provided with the most up-to-date and relevant skills and knowledge to prepare them for their future career. Students seeking further career advice can arrange one-on-one meetings with their major study coordinator.
There are a number of professional associations relevant to the careers linked to LCI Melbourne’s courses. Many of these provide career advice to prospective members. The most notable are:
