This course provides high-level industry staff-expertise and image capture technologies, which will enable graduates to flourish in the continually evolving arena of imaging for film and television.

It seeks to develop in parallel students' artistic eye, technical skills, team-working skills as part of camera crews, and collaborative skills working with directors.
The course is suited to those who have some previous experience in filmmaking or photography, have a good aesthetic sense and critical eye and wish to develop these further. BU would also welcome those who come with professional experience and wish to further develop their creative skills and showreel, while undertaking an immersive learning experience in the theory and practice of cinematography.
