Direct your career in film production

The Bachelor of Film Production leverages a student's interest in filmmaking to establish creative thinkers and practitioners. The course guides students as they learn the technical skills of live action film production, film and story analysis, collaborative practice, and leadership within a creative environment. The course starts with how to make a film and leads to the interesting question of what film will you make. Students use our 4k digital cinema workflow to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. Resources include cinema cameras and lenses, professional tripods, dollies and jibs, lighting equipment, location sound recording mixers, microphones and booms, studio and set construction facilities, green screen studio, and compositing software, professional editing, and colour grading software.
