Short Film and Video Content Creation Level 1
Add to ShortlistThe Short Film and Video Content Creation Level 1 is an engaging course designed for aspiring filmmakers, content creators, and anyone passionate about producing impactful video content. Over the span of this course, you will learn the fundamentals of film production, from conceptualising ideas to executing them with industry-standard software, equipment, and techniques. The course covers essential topics such as research, storyboarding, camera work, lighting, sound design, and post-production editing, ensuring you gain a holistic understanding of the entire filmmaking process.
This course stands out by offering hands-on experience and practical training with industry-standard equipment and software. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, you will work on real-world projects, allowing you to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios that are important to you.
By the end of the course, you will have produced a short film or video project that showcases your skills and creativity, ready to impress friends, family, potential employers, or customers. There is also a chance that your work could be showcased in our independent film festival.
What will I do?
On this course you will study two units which link together to form a coherent pattern of teaching and learning. These two units will provide you with an introduction to the skills, knowledge and understanding necessary to explore, enhance and sustain your creative development in the field of video production.
This course is delivered in a practical way, but there is a requirement for some written work and research in order to achieve the qualification.
