Film Summer School Programme
Our 3-week Film summer school programme gives students the opportunity to explore the exciting world of filmmaking under the guidance of working film industry professionals.
Through a combination of exciting interactive lessons, technical training, and hands-on experience, students will learn the essential skills needed to bring their creative ideas to life and will explore all of the key areas that go into film-making.
Working in small groups, they will develop their own short films, gaining practical experience in all aspects of filmmaking, from script writing to editing the final piece. The course culminates in a special screening at our Creative Night, where students will screen their films for the entire Summer School.

What Students Will Learn
Our Film summer programme is open to students of all experience levels and offers an exciting, hands-on introduction to the world of filmmaking. It’s a chance to build a strong foundation in both the creative and technical sides of film, all while working as part of a fun and supportive team.
Over the three weeks, students will take part in interactive workshops that cover the key skills every filmmaker needs – from story structure and scriptwriting to production planning. They'll learn essential film techniques, including the rule of thirds, the 180-degree rule, and how to compose shots for the best visual impact. There are plenty of practical sessions too, where students will get behind the camera, direct their fellow students, and experience what it’s like to be part of a film crew.
As well as developing and shooting their own short films, students will learn about post-production, using professional editing software to turn their raw material into ready-to-screen films. Along the way, they’ll explore different types of filmmaking, from documentary to short-form storytelling.
By the end of the programme, students will have gained valuable experience in the entire production process. With the chance to see their final films screened to the whole summer school campus, this course offers a fun and inspiring introduction to filmmaking.
Our elective classes run for 3 hours every weekday afternoon (except Wednesdays) and are paired with an academic class, allowing students to explore different interests and create a well-rounded academic profile.
