Courses
(one year full time - two semesters of 20 weeks each)
This course is specifically designed to make people into filmmakers.
The Sydney Film School, Diploma of Screen and Media combines the teaching of theoretical / creative processes and practical hands-on film production, with the emphasis on practice. Initially, we teach drama through 16mm short film productions (shot, edited and finished entirely on film) in parallel with documentary production using entirely digital technologies.
The classes cover all essential aspects of filmmaking; from Pre-production (research, script writing, pitching, casting, production management, design etc), to Production (crewing, working with actors, lighting, filming, recording etc) and Post-production (editing, music, sound mixing copyright, distribution etc). The practical process is supported with sessions in Screen Language, Australian Cinema and Meet the Filmmaker special guest screenings. All equipment and budgets are supplied.
