Based in Notting Hill, famous for its cinematic credentials, our courses focus on the dynamic, hands-on approach to filmmaking – because we believe there’s no better way to learn than getting out there and DOING it!
For those looking to get stuck in to each and every aspect of digital filmmaking, the hugely popular Four-Day Film School (10-13, 14-16) offers a hands-on overview of the filmmaking process. There’s even a premiere for the cast and crew – plus admiring friends and family.
A comprehensive introduction to filmmaking, this course has proved to be the launch pad for many young talents. These four-day courses offer students with little or no previous experience a unique opportunity to work as a team to write, perform, shoot and screen a short film, learning practical skills and the importance of teamwork along the way.
Under the tuition of our award-winning filmmakers, students embark on a whistle-stop tour of film’s origins and history: they learn the basics of acting, writing, editing, camerawork and even fight choreography – before they get out there and actually do it for themselves. Everyone has a chance to develop his or her own role and no one escapes without saying “ACTION!â€
Finally, after four action-packed days, the cast and crew – along with friends and family – are invited to enjoy the Premiere of the completed film. There’s an awards ceremony and a DVD of the film for each student to keep forever – a timeless record of their first steps into the world of cinema.
