Higher National Certificate - Creative Industries: Television and Film

In the HNC Creative Industries: Television and Film course at Milton Road Campus, students will receive extensive and comprehensive instruction across the creative, technical and production aspects of the TV and film industries, gaining a solid grounding in the basic principles that will enable students to decide on a choice of career and to steer their way through this complex, demanding and constantly evolving discipline.

Edinburgh College provides instruction in the technical skills of camera and sound acquisition, lighting, editing, colour correction, motion graphics and audio post-production. Students will learn to write and direct in a variety of genres and styles, both factual and non-factual. They will acquire skills of criticism and research that will give them a solid grounding for progression onto a university honours degree and employment. In addition, students will produce a range of short programmes that will give students a practical understanding of television and film production and enable them to compile an impressive show-reel, one that will aid them in achieving their first steps into this exciting industry.
