The Higher Diploma in Film & Television Production is designed to give students the
opportunity to express themselves through the medium of film. The programme combines an
emphasis on the art of filmmaking and the visual representation of story with the
development of technical, organisational and production skills. It consists of four main
areas : Theory and Analysis, Camera, Lighting and Art Direction. There is an emphasis on
Visual Language and Cinematography. Students will be encouraged to examine the variety
of styles used in film both historically and currently.
The course uses the latest Television cameras & editing equipment to give students
extensive practical skills and technical knowledge required to work in the television
and video production industries. Our purpose built facilities include a TV Studio,
Control Room and Editing suites with the latest digital technology.
