BA (Hons) Film Production Bachelor's degree at Roehampton University

This module introduces you to the key process of depicting characters and scenarios on screen through developing and producing a short non-fiction project. The basic building blocks of characterisation and film language are delivered through screening and analysis of key works in seminars, hand-on exercises in creative development, and the practical implementation of technical skills in additional to training sessions.

This module provides you with an in-depth introduction to film language through the study of a wide range of films (drama, non-fiction, animation, short and feature-length) spanning different eras and geographical regions. Through selected case studies, you will encounter varied modes of production, technologies and contexts of exhibition and reception, including through a field trip to a key festival such as the London Film Festival.

This module is mainly taught by practitioners and builds on term one practical and storytelling skills to gain a more in-depth working knowledge of camera, lighting and sound design. You will work collaboratively to produce a cinematic example of subjective representation according to a brief (such as 'a moment of tension'), produced in two parts focusing first on camera and lighting, and secondly on sound design.

This module introduces you to the key areas or 'building blocks' of fiction storytelling for the screen. You will work in groups and be part of a film crew to prepare, film and deliver a key scene or a short drama. Conceptual and critical discussion of fiction film form with a diverse, global range of texts and case studies will ground your first efforts in selecting, justifying and executing a coherent aesthetic plan appropriate to a given film narrative.

This module will give you an opportunity for hands-on experience in the logistical, financial, creative, and people management aspects of the film making process. You will be introduced to the roles in producing and learn that whilst every film involves a series of routine processes, each film is also unique, with its own set of challenges to overcome.

You will form a variety of industry-model crews and collaborate to locate, research and explore the representation of real subject matter; to deliver a creative, innovative and accomplished 8-10 minute non-fiction film. With the aim of developing narrative and portraying characterisation, you will apply an informed selection of methodologies in relation to subject matter and use increasingly sophisticated cinematic film language to achieve a rigorous and considered piece of work.

This module focuses on the cinema industries of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Latin America. It examines terms such as 'world cinema', 'accented cinema', 'transnational cinema', and 'migration cinema' in relation to representation, as well as to historical, political and economic contexts.

This module takes you to deeper understanding and execution of more advanced storytelling techniques and film characters - and their motivations - within a given scripted film story. You will work in groups to pitch and write a short screenplay on a
