Key Features

This course is essential preparation if your first language is not English and you wish to study or work in an English-speaking country or crew. It is also an appealing way to improve your grasp of English through an engagement with the motion picture medium. You acquire English language film vocabulary that will give you the confidence to walk on to a film set or into a film-training environment and communicate effectively with a crew, tutors and fellow students.

You practise the terminology of scripting, storyboarding, formats, cameras and lenses, film stock, lighting, sound recording, feature film production, editing, post-production and working in the film & TV industry through classroom demonstration and discussion. Under the guidance of an experienced film professional, you expand your ability to use an active filmmaking vocabulary through written and practical exercises, which are applied to the following areas: story writing, visual communication, working on a film set, camera operating, focus pulling, lighting and set procedure.

  • Practical training in small groups by a professional from the film & TV industry
  • An overview of filmmaking disciplines, from film scripts and lighting to working on set
  • Combination of classroom seminars and guided practical exercises covering film related English language and vocabulary
  • Put theory into practice through working with camera and sound equipment
  • Acquire film set procedure vocabulary to enable you to communicate effectively with an English-speaking crew
  • Gain knowledge and language skills that can be applied in novice filmmaking and job or training applications
  • Learn in a film school environment where you can expand your contacts and collaborate with students from all courses as well as via Club Panico@LFA which provides the opportunity to expand your contacts and go on to make your own films
  • Daily teaching sessions are followed by individual project work outside of class-time.
