Programme Details

School Features

The Summer Filmmaking Programme at Central Film School London (CFS) gives students from all over the world the perfect opportunity to gain a range of technical and creative skills while benefiting from a full-immersion English language environment. Over two weeks, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of filmmaking by our lecturers and tutors, who are current industry practitioners. These skills are consolidated in a group film projected which is premiered in CFS' Screening Theatre. International students benefit from being in a fully English language environment, developing their communication skills in the multi-linguistic learning context. Working in collaboration, CFS and FindEducation have developed a programme which provides a complete experience with high quality accommodation and a range of extra-curricular activities to ensure students have an unforgettable experience.

This programme represents a unique opportunity to learn two new and exciting skillsets: elements of filmmaking and English language. By working in a team with other like-minded individuals, students will be able to enhance their groupwork and communication skills and have a piece of work to show for it at the end.

Participants will be gradually introduced to a range of aspects involved in filmmaking, taking them through the entire industry standard process of pre-production, shooting and post-production, so that they can see the film they make develop and grow in front of them.

​

Some of the skills they will learn include:

  • Scriptwriting

  • Casting

  • Directing Actors

  • Camera Operation

  • Sound

  • Editing

​

Students will be given a chance to prepare their films before making them, leaving the quality of the final product down to their work and effort.
