The DFP program is designed for the new generation of upcoming film makers who want to combine classical background knowledge (including scripting and storyboarding, camera operation, lighting, editing etc.) with cutting edge, up to date digital technology including production, editing and compositing techniques.

The curriculum of the Digital Film Production course takes the student through the entire process of creating video and motion graphics with the emphasis on digital technologies associated with editing and post-production. It is theoretical in its examination of film history and filmic techniques and applies these to the emerging digital realm. It is also highly practical in nature exposing students to specialised techniques, industry perspectives and insights.

Students will be expected to write, produce, direct, and edit a number of projects which each examine individual aspects of digital film production. These include TVC's (commercials), the documentary, music video, and dramatic genres. Students work are screened in a public venue at the end of the course. Emphasis is also placed on the ability to engage in constructive discussion and critique and students are encouraged to develop a high level of insight and understanding.

This course provides a comprehensive education in the skills and knowledge required by professionals working in todayÕs film and video industries. Employment options include fields such as film and video editing and production, post-production and compositing, CGI artist, multimedia and many other related professions.
