MA in Filmmaking

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

 

Course Overview                                                         

The MA in Filmmaking programme, validated by Bournemouth University, consists of a series of units led by experienced filmmaking practitioners. The programme enables you to complete a portfolio of up to six short projects, plus a Masters research or production project accompanied by an exhibition.

 

The course is divided into eight units; Drama Production, Production For The Small Screen, Feature Film Production, Documentary Practice, Thinking Beyond: Experimental Film Conception & Creation, Working With Genre, and the final Master’s research or production project followed by the compulsory exhibition. Within each eight-week unit you will develop an individual learning agreement with your tutor that sets out the project objectives you will pursue in a largely self-directed learning environment, which is combined with two weekend workshops.

 

Where relevant, you will have access to teaching support in disciplines such as editing or directing, whilst you lead the necessary independent research to develop the project. You will also be expected to engage with the postgraduate online forum, which allows you to draw upon and share the expertise and opinions of your tutors and peers.

There are two study routes available for MA in Filmmaking. Students can apply on a full-time basis, or alternatively they can complete each individual unit of the programme as a short course, enabling them to build their own postgraduate qualification. The units consist of two days training, followed by online tuition.

 

 

 

 

 
The individual units are; Drama Production, Production For The Small Screen, Feature Film Production, Documentary Practice, Thinking Beyond: Experimental Film Conception and Creation and Working With Genre, followed by your final research or production project and the compulsory exhibition.  
 
Each unit can be taken as a standalone course, however students who successfully complete the first six units will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Filmmaking, those who complete all eight units will be awarded the MA in Filmmaking qualification. All students, full-time or otherwise, must successfully complete the first six units to continue on to the Masters research or production project phase of the programme. 
 
The cost of each individual unit is £1,200, however students who choose to take each unit individually do not get access to production or post-production facilities or support. This option is only available for UK and EU residents and not international students.
