Programme Overview
The Creative Film Making and Editing - An Introduction course from Arts University Bournemouth covers the essential aspects of film making including story; script development; planning; shot-lists; storyboarding; directing; lighting; camera work and non-linear editing and more. Through this course, students will develop and shoot their original short films in groups before individually editing their own unique cuts.
The course is a mix of workshops covering film-based practice and theory which covers the process of making a short film from concept to final cut. From the first session, students work in groups to develop an original story idea through to the filmmaking process with the support of our experienced tutors.
Course tutor and writer, Celeste Engel, will introduce students to the genre of the short film, incorporating the screening and analysis of short films, as well as sharing her own short film experience. Through an introduction to scriptwriting alongside practical script development of original ideas, students will get a taste of developing a short film from scratch. Students will be introduced to directing and storyboarding alongside practical workshops in which student films will be prepared for the shoot.
Additional course tutor, Lucy Turner, is an editor and multi-media artist who will provide hands-on practical support, taking students through the variety of professional equipment provided by AUB ahead of filming on location. The course includes a full day on set/location where students will shoot their films ahead of beginning the editing stage. Lucy will support students to develop a working understanding of the importance of editing, the language and terminology, cutting styles, continuity editing parameters and editing to music.
