About This Course

Concept to Finished Film in 3 Months

This course is designed for anyone who wants to make a film — not just learn about making one. Over three intensive months you'll move through the full production pipeline: developing your idea, shooting it, and editing it to a finished cut you can show to the world.

Every phase is taught by working professionals and grounded in practical exercises. You'll leave with real experience behind a camera, on a set, and in the edit suite — and a finished short film in your portfolio.

Who Is This Course For?

  • Aspiring filmmakers looking for a fast, focused entry into production

  • Workshop graduates ready to go deeper into the full process

  • Creatives from adjacent fields — photography, music, writing — wanting to cross into film

  • Professionals wanting a practical foundation before committing to a certificate or diploma programme

The Course Structure

Three Phases. One Complete Film.

Each month takes you deeper into the production process — building skills that compound across the full three months.

1

Month 1

Pre-Production

Everything that happens before the camera rolls. You'll develop your story, prepare your crew, and build the plan that makes the shoot possible.

  • Developing your concept and story
  • Script writing and script breakdown
  • Storyboarding and shot lists
  • Casting and location scouting
  • Production scheduling and budgeting
  • Assembling your crew and equipment plan
2

Month 2

Principal Photography

Lights, camera, action. You'll shoot your film on a real set — directing, operating camera, recording sound, and managing a live production from call time to wrap.

  • Camera operation and lens work
  • On-set lighting setups
  • Directing actors through scenes
  • Location sound recording
  • Managing the set and shot list
  • On-set problem solving and decision making
3

Month 3

Post-Production

Where the film is truly made. You'll edit your footage, design the sound, grade the image, and deliver a finished film ready to be shown.

  • Editing in Adobe Premiere Pro
  • Sound design and audio mixing
  • Colour grading
  • Music and scoring
  • Titles, finishing, and export
  • Final screening and peer review

Outcomes

What You Walk Away With

A Finished Film

You'll graduate with a completed short film — written, shot, and edited by you — that you can submit to festivals, share online, or show to employers from day one.

Real Production Skills

Hands-on experience with professional equipment across camera, lighting, sound, and editing — the kind of knowledge you can only get by actually doing it.

A Clear Path Forward

Graduates can move directly into any of our 6-month certificate courses or 1-year diploma programmes — with a clear advantage over those starting from scratch.
