Diploma of Film (Fast Track)
Be cast directly into a world-class creative environment with this hands-on diploma. Guided by expert lecturers you will gain an in-depth introduction to film, from script writing and film production, right through to digital post-production. You will engage in collaborative studio-based learning where you will have access to all the latest equipment and software including DaVinci Resolve colour grading software and Adobe Creative Cloud. Your growth and development will be assessed through the completion of industry-based projects, not theoretical based essays.
You’ll feel like you are already working, with the amount of hands-on experience you’ll gain operating film production equipment for a variety of screen contexts, including cameras, lighting and sound. You’ll also learn about digital post-production including audio mixing, tilting colour grading and the authoring processes. Upon completion you will be eligible for up to 80 credit points towards either the Bachelor of Film (Production) or the Bachelor of Film (Post Production).
