About Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Film and Television Studies (Placement Year) (W621)
Program Description
This degree will give students a thorough understanding of film by combining the production with the theory of visual digital media. Students delve into practical film and video-making, scriptwriting, filming and editing, whilst honing their critical analysis and research skills to develop a comprehensive understanding of how the film and TV industries work.
As the film and television industries are very hands-on, students will benefit from Brunel's fantastic editing suites which have up-to-date production software including: Adobe Creative Cloud; Avid Media Composer; Avid ProTools, and; Final Cut Pro. Brunel also have a range of high quality camera, sound, lighting, and grip equipment ready for students to use. These resources will allow them to bring their ideas, thoughts and creations to life.
Students will watch weekly screenings of a film or programme relevant to the topic being studied followed by a lecture that covers some of the key ideas and theories of film and television. After the lecture students have the opportunity to contribute to group discussions and share ideas with others in their seminars. This format allows them to develop a strong understanding of what goes into the entertainment on the screens, and gives students the opportunity to collaborate and share ideas with their peers.
As well as enhancing students' learning by attending screenings at the British Film Institute, the Institute of Contemporary Arts and other cinemas across the capital, students will also be eligible to enter the annual Brunel University Film Festival (BUFF) with categories including Best Fiction, Best Non-Fiction and Best Overall Film. This will allow students to put what they have learnt into practice and will give them the opportunity to showcase their talent.
Students learn with confidence knowing that they are taught by some of the best film academics in the UK. Not only are they experts in the industry, but they have published work in the field so some of the books on their reading list may be written by those teaching them.
The Film and Television Studies BA is a part of the BAFTA albert education partnership. This accreditation provides students with exclusive access to the industry’s BAFTA albert carbon calculator, a tool used by Netflix, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, UKTV and Sky when producing their content. Participating students will work towards creating environmentally-friendly, sustainable content. Upon completion they will be presented with industry-recognised certification and become an official “BAFTA albert graduate”. This opportunity is provided at no extra cost.
Brunel have excellent links with a wide range of notable external organisations, so students will have the opportunity to apply for high quality placements across London.
If students decide to do postgraduate study, this course provides them with skills to succeed including developing an idea and seeing it through to the end, project management skills, ability to work in a team and individually and an ability to analyse their own work.
Students will graduate with the confidence to be a creative and imaginative cultural producer with solid knowledge of film culture and practical experience which will put them in good stead for their future career.
