University of Suffolk, United Kingdom

Course Overview

With a contemporary curriculum, our BA (Hons) Digital Film Production combines the main elements of production, screenwriting, and film theory. Taking a holistic and practical approach we also offer opportunities to explore the professional aspects of filmmaking. Unlike many other university courses, we put a lot of emphasis on production and post-production sound. You explore it in a creative way, learning how to edit dialogue and apply sound effects, for instance. Throughout the degree you work with industry-standard software and equipment, ensuring you are fully prepared to enter into this profession. See Facilities and Resources further down this page for information about our studios and supply of equipment. Our course is designed to reflect the real world; we provide opportunities for industry placements within the creative industries at organizations such as the BBC and at a variety of local production companies. You can also sharpen your skills by producing films for clients; students have worked with Suffolk County Council, Suffolk Shorts, and the National Trust to name just a few.
