Film and Television
This course develops your individual creativity and teaches you the technical expertise essential for a career in film and television. You will develop your skills and gain experience on live action films, animation, television, games and commercials, using traditional and digital design techniques. You’ll learn in a fully equipped design studio, where you’ll be designing for live action shoots, using traditional and digital design techniques. Uniquely in the UK, you’ll benefit from studying alongside students of other filmmaking disciplines, engaging in a series of productions where working methods replicate professional practice. You’ll also get far more time learning directly from professional tutors, in real production facilities and on real projects, than you would get in the vast majority of film schools or universities. COURSE FACILITIES Our design studios offer you a designated workstation equipped with a drawing board, computer, model making table and storage. Computers are loaded with the latest design software. There are two plotters and two 3D printers in the department. To assist you on productions, the School also has its own well stocked Prop Store and maintains close relationships with a wide range of external prop houses to help facilitate the diverse nature of student productions. We also have a selection of drapes and green screens available for productions.
Getting in
As the university states it
Production Design students come from a wide variety of visual backgrounds, including theatre, architecture, illustration, fine art, digital design, interior design and 3D design. When you apply, your portfolio submission must demonstrate a strong visual imagination, an aptitude for spatial and 3D design, an awareness of architecture and design for the moving image and exhibit a personal visual language. Please refer to our guidance notes here for more information. Experience of film/TV work is not essential but a willingness to work collaboratively and an ability to motivate and lead a team are essential. While many applicants will have a degree from a British or overseas university, we will consider applicants who do not have a degree if they have an impressive portfolio, a creative track record or an alternative qualification.
