What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This is a beginners’ course suited for those who like to learn at a fast pace. You are expected to have some basic computer skills including opening applications, navigating, opening and saving files.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
You will be taught using a range of techniques including workshops, short lectures, demonstrations, practical exercises, tutorials, group and individual assistance and handouts. Work between classes is encouraged as it helps you practice techniques and develop your film project further. We use Google Classroom E-learning platform which will store all tasks, notes and resources. You will be sent an email with the necessary information and will need to login into your Google classroom before each sessions starts.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
The latest professional equipment and software are available for your use in the class throughout the course. It would be useful to bring a memory stick (or portable hard drive - please note PC formatted hard drives can be read by Apple mac computers, but not written to.) If you wish to develop your work further outside the class you will need to have access to a camera that can record video. Alternatively, you can use your mobile phone.
Lyndon began his film career working as a runner on several short films and features whilst writing for his own films. Following this, he wrote, produced and directed three successful short films in quick succession between 2003 and 2006. Since then Lyndon has been developing a number of feature films for his production company while working as a filmmaker, with his most recent short film The Verity featuring in a number of international film festivals. For over eighteen years Lyndon has been running a wide range of practical film courses aimed at beginners and professionals alike. His teaching style is very practical, “I try to make them as enjoyable as possible and hopefully the first thing the students would want to do after the course is make another film…”
