AIE’s Filmmaking course is a highly practical course designed to expand your visual storytelling and creative thinking. You will be trained by experienced industry practitioners in the exciting practice of filmmaking using the philosophy of learning by doing.   

We replicate the real-world industry and operate like a production house. You generate original ideas, develop and pitch projects. Crews are formed and projects are realised from pre-production to shoot to post-production. It’s a fun, vibrant, hard-working environment where you can pursue projects that inspire you. .  

Learn the art of collaboration by making short dramas, comedies, documentaries, music videos and experimental films, incorporating the emerging technology of VP (Virtual Production). You will work on a large volume of films in multiple crew roles and have your films screened publicly at the cinema at the end of each year. You also get to produce a showreel. 

Over this two-year, full-time course you will be prepared to enter the exciting and dynamic film industry. Having learnt writing, directing, producing, camera, audio and editing, you will be technically and creatively ready to work in traditional film roles, as well as cutting edge VP roles. 

This course is the first in the world to integrate Virtual Production technologies into a filmmaking course. The Virtual Production components of the course, include pre-visualisation, virtual scouting techniques, and virtual production filming using real-time environments ensure you will graduate with in-demand industry skills. 

You will have access to the latest professional film making equipment including Sony, Black Magic and Arri cameras, Arri anamorphic lenses, motion control dolly, mixers, microphones, props, sets, costumes and an LED wall virtual production studio at each campus. As well as professional editing and colour grading software. You will have the opportunity to build your network by collaborating with AIE’s visual effects students across AIE campuses.
