The NPA in Film and Media is a fun and creative way to learn about movies and media. You'll get to enjoy and understand films while also exploring how they're made. As part of the course, you'll work on a group project where you'll plan, create, and complete your own film idea, learning how to work as a team and think about what worked well and what could be better.
In class, you'll use professional equipment and techniques to learn hands-on filmmaking skills. This course gives you an introduction into how movies are made and what each person in a film crew does. By working in a small team, you'll gain real-world experience and discover how all the pieces come together to tell a story on screen.
