1. A constant shift between traditional class teaching, practical exercises and film production.
This offers you theoretical knowledge of film production as well as the chance to actually practice everything you learn in class. In terms of teaching, each course period consist of app. 25 teaching hours per week – and in terms of film production, our students produce more than 100 short films together during the programme.
2. The fact that students cannot pick a specific field of study, but are forced to dive into at least 3 different fields of filmmaking.
On one side, this allows our students to explore their true talent (maybe your talent is actually editing, and not directing?) – and on the other side, knowing more about other fields of filmmaking will make you better at your preferred field.
We all understand what actors, writers, directors, even gaffers do, but what about that other very prominent name in the credits? Is producing just spending cash and smoking cigars? Rarely… if ever.
The job as a producer is a job than can be hair-raising one minute and hair-tearing the next. As a producer or production manager, you are the one doing everything possible to carry a film forward; from the early idea to the big screen.
Producing at EFC will take you into the world of short film producing, covering all elements: finding a project, developing the idea with a screenwriter and a director, budgeting and scheduling, casting for actors, working out deals, keeping the cast and crew happy, giving feedback on edits, completing the project on time, and finding an audience.
