Have the film industry demystified in five evenings and learn the basics of writing, directing and producing.
Writing for Low Budget Films
Making movies can be very expensive but debut films are usually made on miniscule budgets. A successful filmmaker can make the ordinary seem extraordinary, enhancing the film's production values.
Actors, cinematographers and directors form one of the most exciting relationships on a movie set. New directors need to learn to communicate their vision to their cast and crew in order to get the best results on screen.
Introduction to ProductionComputer and camera companies have developed a bewildering array of low cost editing and camera equipment. Learn how to choose the right equipment and maximise its potential for the edit of your movie.
If you really want to work in the film industry as a writer, director or producer, your chances of success increase if you make a plan of attack. Learn how to identify areas of interest to you, and how to approach the right people - the people who can help you or hire you.

| Director's Tip
| How does one balance the fact that directing is the most glamourous job with the brutal fact that the film industry is ruthlessly competitive?
| | Click here for The 9 Routes to Breaking In As A Director | |  Directors' Foundation Certificate
This course is designed to provide new directors with the basic techniques and information needed to direct a short film or feature.
Week 1: The Director And The Script
The script is the blueprint for a movie. The director's job is to read and interpret the screenplay. Discover how a good director translates the written word into the visual elements on the screen.
Week 2: The Director And The Rehearsal
The director's challenge is to communicate his/her vision to the cast. Learn to run a rehearsal and create mood and tension by inspiring the actors and using the tool of staging.
Week 3: The Grammar Of Directing
Directors use a variety of shots and lenses to compose their scenes and create a vocabulary of cinematic techniques and processes. Directors must learn the do's and don'ts of film grammar.
Week 4: Directing The Shoot
Using professional actors and a DV camera, a short scene will be shot to demonstrate the techniques used by professionals.
Week 5: Directing The Edit
In the edit, the audiovisual material collected during the shoot is reorganised to tell the story in the best way. The director must thoroughly understand the editing process.
