About Course

Build Your Foundation in Professional Filmmaking

The Foundation Programme is an intensive, practical introduction to the core skills of cinematography and digital media production.

Designed for aspiring filmmakers, content creators and beginners in the creative industry, the programme gives you hands-on exposure to the essential crafts of filmmaking before you choose a specialisation.

Over eight weeks, you will learn camera and image fundamentals, photography, videography, cinematography, lighting, sound, directing, scriptwriting, video editing, drone operation, AI-assisted production and the business of filmmaking.

The programme is built around learning, practice and production, so you don’t just learn the theory—you apply what you learn through individual and group exercises and a final showcase production.
