Level 1
These Taster courses courses are suitable for complete beginners in digital video, and animation. They are run at an easy pace and require no prior skills, other than basic computer skills.
(All Level 2 courses are also suitable for beginners but often have additional entry requirements – see course details).
Level 2
Suitable as follow on courses from Level 1 tasters or can be taken as first courses. They tend to be longer and are aimed at those with no previous experience of filmmaking. Basic computer skills are required. The pace is more demanding than the Level 1 courses, and students may be required to do preparation work outside of classes. The tutor will be very supportive throughout.
Level 3
Intermediate level courses designed as follow on courses from Level 2 or aimed at students who have completed similar courses elsewhere. The pace on these courses is generally more intense and demanding. Depending on the course, students may have to do more preparation and development work outside of class. Students will be expected to be motivated, self-driven and able to collaborate with each other.
