On this course you will have the opportunity to explore the interplay between the history and theory of film and television with the practice of production. UEA has a long-established record of excellence in combining the creative arts with critical thinking and this course extends that expertise to the mediums of film and television.   

Creative careers in the film and television industry depend on the ability to devise, develop, and execute a coherent vision. This course will therefore develop your ability to tell a story using a range of technologies. Our teaching will focus on the writing, directing, and editing decisions that happen behind the scenes, and it will provide crucial grounding in film and television history and theory. At the same time, we will develop the skills needed for success in the film and television industry. We will provide the training, equipment and technical support you need while also cultivating the team-work necessary to any large-scale creative venture.  

You will develop your creative vision in workshops, hone your practical production skills in our state-of-the-art facilities, and engage with the current academic debates in the discipline while learning key critical and theoretical approaches to the subject in your seminars.
