MA
Summary
Situated within the Nottingham School of Art & Design, the MA in Filmmaking challenges students to innovate within and beyond the boundaries of moving-image-making practices. You will be exploring and experimenting in both film production and exhibition, enhanced by intellectually stimulating discussions and workshops.
During your studies, you will create new and refreshing projects that communicate your cinematic voice, using moving image and sound to experiment with virtual production, emerging and established technologies, and drawing on analogue practices where appropriate.
Collaborating with creative practitioners across the school, you will undertake projects to advance your research and experimentation skills in moving image arts.
The MA Filmmaking is suitable for all creative practitioners keen to undertake research-informed projects in the continuously transforming field of independent and experimental filmmaking.
Key features
-
Explore film as a creative art form: This course is designed for filmmakers who want to push boundaries and redefine how sound and image interact. Explore evolving forms of storytelling and prepare to contribute to the future of cinema through innovation and experimentation.
-
Experiment with form, sound and image: Respond creatively with film techniques to intellectual discussions, leading to innovation in the digital manipulation and capturing of sound and moving image.
-
Learn through practice and reflection: Approach filmmaking as a process of discovery. Supported by seminars and one-to-one tutorials, you’ll experiment with new techniques and reflect critically on your creative choices to produce meaningful, original work.
-
Discover how to reach your audience: With an emphasis on film exhibition and distribution, influence how audiences engage with your work by taking part in the organisation of a film festival.
Employability
The course is designed with various opportunities for engagement with the creative industries and integrates work-like experiences.
Guest lectures will be delivered by experts in their field. The course has contacts with independent filmmakers who draw on research and experimentation, producers who are successful in obtaining funding for moving image art, curators of works that sit outside the mainstream, and specialists (sound, camera, etc.) frequently working in the field of independent or experimental cinema.
The 100-credit module Film Project follows a work-like trajectory from development to exhibition. Students present a proposal to an industry panel and will receive advice on how to progress. After the completion of their projects, an end-of-year festival will be organised following a guest lecture on film festival curation. The festival itself is an outward-facing event to further support engagement with industry and networking with the wider community, locally and internationally.
