This course is delivered online on Zoom, and in-person at our creative space – The Good Growth Hub– located inside the Olympic Park in Hackney Bridge.
5 days a week, Monday - Friday.
As a group, you will create 90-second films in response to a brief. There will be weekly shooting exercises and editing challenges, with the programme ending with an end-of-course celebratory screening.
Inspirational talks, workshops, and masterclasses will be timetabled around core training tasks of storytelling, shooting prep, shooting & editing, and so on, in preparation to help you make your short 90-second films. Industry partners will help with Co-design and training delivery in the form of guest lecturing, masterclasses, technical skills-based workshops & virtual creative field trips to studios.
In addition to industry & professional training, participants also receive careers advice and guidance, individual support, peer networking and are given time for self-study.
