Course: FdA Visual Effects and Post-Production

The course is designed to provide you with the practical, critical and theoretical tools required by the contemporary visual effects and post-production industries. You will develop the problem-solving and reflective abilities necessary for study and subsequent work within the industry. The programme has a focus towards film and television post-production, colour grading, multi-platform editing, and compositing combining 2d/3d animation and visual effects.

The course will be moving into a new purpose-built HE Centre in Great Yarmouth – The Place.  This will be a state-of-the-art facility very close to amenities and transport links. The new premises will have access to state-of-the-art technological systems including Immersive media and Virtual Production, an area of growth in the industry.

Whist this is a full-time course, typically this course generally only requires 1-2 days on campus attendance, supported by self-directed study.  This means you can continue to work alongside your studies and balance other commitments.

Modules you may study include:

• Screen Writing and Production Planning
• Editing and Colour Grading
• Camera Operations
• Introduction to CGI
• Visual Effects and Motion Design
• Research into Industry Practise
• 2D and 3D Compositing
• Cinematography and the Visual Narrative
