About this course
The course explores how ideas can be communicated through film, from developing a concept to presenting and uploading finished work. Learners work collaboratively while building filmmaking, photographic, writing, editing and presentation skills.

Discussion of different media and art forms supports the development of a film portfolio containing selected sequences and shots.
