Cử nhân Khoa học (Danh dự) Sản xuất điện ảnh và truyền hình

Year 1

Your first year will introduce you to some of the key technologies, core production processes and major ideas and theories that drive film- and programme-making.

You'll study the art of storytelling and start working on screen stories of your own. You will learn about cameras, editing and sound technologies both on location and in the multi-camera television studio and you will explore some of the underlying science that will allow you to use equipment effectively to achieve exciting creative results.

You will study the history of film, from Hitchcock to Tarantino and beyond, and the history of television, from Coronation Street to Game of Thrones, and you will learn to analyse both media on the way towards developing your own ideas.

A unique module on content development will give you your first taste of creating film and TV ideas in a professional context.

You will take a selection of modules, examples of which may include: 

• Story 

• Introduction to Film and Television Production Methods (single camera and multi-camera studio techniques) 

• Cinema: History and Analysis 

• Television: History and Analysis

• Content Development

• The Science of Sound and Cinematography

Year 2

In your second year you will hone your production skills and study a full range of professional disciplines on the way towards creating your own projects. You'll learn to develop, write, cast, budget and produce your own short film, drama or documentary. And you will experience a variety of roles and a variety of different formats in the multi-camera television studio, before working up and directing a studio show of your own. You will explore film and TV content production through all its stages, from concept to completion. The module on genre will acquaint you with the importance of terms like Thriller, Horror, Western and other definitions in the development and production of professional film and television.  Meanwhile, to start you own your way towards your own areas of specialisation, we currently offer options in screenwriting, documentary and in designing digital effects tools, among others.
