The Met Film School is London's leading provider of practical filmmaking courses, based at Ealing Studios.

Course Overview

Young Filmmakers' Workshop is a weekend course that aims to provide young people aged between 14 and 17 with a thorough, hands-on introduction to the fundamentals of filmmaking. You will take part in a series of practical filmmaking workshops over the two days that will cover all aspects of film production. You will improve your technical and creative understanding of production processes, learn on-set working practices and develop an understanding of visual storytelling techniques.

This weekend filmmaking course covers the basics of direction, cinematography, and editing. Students will get hands on experience shooting a selection of scenes and devised pieces of increasing complexity that draw from Hollywood scripts and other film sources. This is a fun, challenging and exciting programme designed for young aspiring filmmakers who want to learn from professionals and develop good team working skills. A DVD of all work completed will be sent to the student after finishing the course.
