Filmmaking Foundation

View Timetable  

Our Filmmaking Foundation is designed for beginners and those with a little experience to introduce the techniques required and instil the confidence needed to begin making your own short films. Our film foundation covers the key elements of the filmmaker; participants work in a professional TV studio and editing suite. Members of this course form a close knit crew to gain hands-on experience in planning, lighting, camera operating and editing.

Focusing on pre-production, production and post production participants gain skills to plan, capture and edit everything needed to create a ‘course project’ short film completed by the end of the course.

Structured for those who want to access intensive practical film training, but can only commit to a part-time schedule. Led by our professional filmmaker, using current sound recording, lighting equipment and DSLR cameras the course is structured over ten x 3 hour weekly sessions and is located at our central London, Soho studios.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
