Filmmaking

About the course

Filmmaking has the power to entertain and open our eyes to new perspectives. This course is for you if you’d like to develop your critical and practical filmmaking skills to ignite your creativity.

At Sussex, you’ll learn from our active and innovative film producers and film scholars. On this course, you’ll:

- learn to produce both documentary and fiction films – developing skills in producing, directing, cinematography, editing, scriptwriting and sound

- explore film history and film theory

- take electives from other subjects – from business to law and modern languages – to open your mind to other disciplines and tailor your degree to your interests

- have 24/7 access to our specialist facilities, which include edit suites, a photographic studio, dubbing facilities and a foley studio

- be able to hire a wide range of professional equipment that’s free to use for extended periods, locally, nationally and internationally.

Outside the classroom, you’ll have opportunities to develop real-world skills. During your studies, you’ll build a portfolio of work to show potential employers. Masterclasses from alumni and industry professionals also prepare you for life after graduation.
