The Met Film School is London's leading provider of practical filmmaking courses, based in Ealing Studios.
Course Overview
The Practical Filmmaking Diploma includes all of the areas covered by students on the One-Year Practical Filmmaking course and further develops your skillset over an additional four-month period. The course also gives you the chance to make your own documentary film and a graduation project, as well as training in analysing film, broadcast and new media, small screen production plus an additional option of your choice.
For more information on the programme Request A Prospectus and our enrolments team will get in touch to talk you through the course and your study options.
By the end of the course you will have been involved in the production of a minimum of four films individually, and have taken part in numerous practical filmmaking exercises, some of which you could potentially use as showreel pieces. You will be proficient in directing, screenwriting, editing, directing actors for the camera, cinematography and sound design and recording. You will also have the opportunity to become an Apple-certified operator of Final Cut Pro if you successfully pass the Final Cut Pro Level 1 exam.
In addition to the practical elements of the course, you will also analyse film from a technical, aesthetic and historical perspective. Furthermore, you will understand the creative process of development and pitching by taking part in a module focused on developing your professional skills as an independent producer. This complete and comprehensive view of film will enable you to enter the industry confident in your practical knowledge and theoretical understanding of how it operates.
