Course Summary

Develop as a producer/director of factual films and television programmes. Enhance your creative skills and technical knowledge and build a portfolio of work to help you stand out from the crowd. No matter what your experience of filmmaking, our MA Film and Television Production at ARU will expand your knowledge and understanding of the UK factual film and TV profession and industry.

On this Masters course you’ll create a portfolio of seven films of different lengths.

Focusing on the two key roles of director and producer – which in current factual programming are merged into one – you’ll explore the dynamics of this ever-changing industry, and what it takes to succeed. Here at ARU you’ll learn to become a visual storyteller, a collaborator, motivator and problem solver. While our emphasis is on factual programming, there is scope and flexibility for you to develop with experimental work, drama and music videos.

Modules

On this module you will explore the relationship between research and filmmaking, including key methods of research in filmmaking, both academic and industrial. These methods will include: research methodologies and techniques (how to ask productive research questions; where to go and how to find materials relevant to your studies); identification and research of a suitable subject for a film; an understanding of context in the media world textual analysis of form and style in a variety of factual films and TV programmes; critical analysis of the arguments offered by a range of texts. As a focus around which to organize the development of your skills, you will also analyse the work and methods of several well-known factual filmmakers.
