Practical skills

You will gain practical experience in:

* editing, colour and grading

This helps you explore how every aspect of film and every role within a crew is a means of creative expression.

We work as a film community supporting collaboration across the year groups. You will learn the teamwork and communication skills necessary to enter the film and television industries.

Masterclasses
