This practical, one-year course provides a unique opportunity to experience life in one of the most exciting cities in Europe while honing your skills as a filmmaker. Whether your interests lie in production design, directing, or editing, you’ll have the chance to build your portfolio while immersing in the Creative Capital of Berlin. Our CertHE courses take a project-based learning approach, focusing on practical application. Your teaching may, therefore, include technical camera and lighting workshops, location scouting, production meetings, and more. You will develop a core filmmaking skillset, and you’ll undertake a variety of production roles to establish and enhance your specialism. This experience will allow you to develop valuable logistical and organizational skills and give you first-hand knowledge of the relationship between a film production's technical and creative aspects. As you sharpen your filmmaking skills, you’ll also build your portfolio. This will be informed by the ‘Studio Project’ module, designed to immerse students in real-world working practices. NB: This course is only available for students within the EU/EEA.
