Course Overview

Youll learn to tell stories that engage audiences, whether you want to write poetry, drama, short fiction, or make films and documentaries. Youll explore and develop professional writing techniques related to film including screenwriting and film journalism. Youll get invaluable feedback on all of your creative writing work from professional writers, including our teaching staff and Royal Literary Fund fellows, as well as your fellow students. This will offer you the unique opportunity to consider a range of responses to your work, as well as sharpening your own critical skills. Investigating filmmaking practices from all over the world, and learning the language of film from the perspective of a filmmaker, youll make your own short films in video, animation, or 16mm format, with full training in camera operation, sound recording, and editing from professional filmmakers. If you specialize in filmmaking, youll put your well-practiced skills to the test in a project that, once complete, will be screened at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse. The best may also be selected for showing at the Cambridge Film Festival. Youll learn to write knowledgeably and critically about film, giving you even more opportunities to get involved in Cambridges exciting arts scene.
