Screen Fiction

Drawing from both classical and alternative storytelling approaches, the BA3 Screen Fiction option offers students an opportunity to engage with the constantly evolving dynamics of fiction filmmaking in the digital era.

At the start of the year the students are invited to pitch ideas for graduation films. Three are selected by the class. Production teams are formed around each film, with the students selecting specialist roles such as: Producer, Director, Sound Recordist, Cinematographer or Editor.

The Autumn Term is spent developing the films and in workshops preparing the students for their key roles. The second half of the Spring Term is exclusively dedicated to filming and editing the three films.

Peer-to-peer learning, including participating in constructive analysis in teams, is fundamental preparation for future industry employment. The breadth of subject matter and the dramatic treatment of these ideas continues to produce surprising and engaging work.
