Course overview

This Diploma course is designed for students seeking a strong practical and hands-on experience, that combines the technical foundations of both still and moving image. You'll explore capture and the importance of managing and improving your images with lightroom and photoshop. You'll gain a practical understanding of lenses, combined with creative exposure, and learn in a hands-on way to confidently photograph while responding to various light sources. You'll be guided through the foundations of studio photography, artificial lighting, and creative image construction.  In the screen media component, you'll gain practical experience in camera operation, framing and movement while learning to apply these techniques to various cinematic styles. You'll use professional editing software to refine your raw footage, create cohesive narratives and learn to enhance storytelling though visual and audio post-production techniques.
