Film & Television Production Level 6 BA (Hons)

There’s never been a more exciting time to be getting involved with Film and TV in the UK. There are areas of huge expansion in production, particularly across the South East, and with this expansion comes a huge amount of opportunity – especially at the Backstage Centre in Purfleet, with which we are directly associated. This course is a combination of theory and practical work across all areas of film and TV production, focusing on practical units in a modern television studio, location filming, sound & vision, scriptwriting and film production management. The course offers more individual attention than comparable courses, along with appearances by guest speakers and workshops from professional practitioners. A longer film project will be available in year three which is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with other students.
