Film and TV Production, Bachelor

This programme gives you industry standard knowledge of film and TV production. The programme has a special focus on production in new media and on cost-effective productions through the innovative use of technology. The programme also focuses on how these skills can be used in other market areas to strengthen the opportunities for a wider job market for candidates.

What is common for all disciplines is the ability to form and convey meaning, create and communicate great stories, believable characters, characters and worlds in all media.

The courses are hosted at Nord University campus in Levanger where you will use state of the art computer labs, editing suites, and studios. Students also have access to excellent camera equipment, sound and lighting equipment and other equipment needed for such productions. All labs are equipped with the latest software required for such kind of production. It is expected that you have basic IT skills and good English skills so you are able to read English literature, write reports and follow classes in English.

Film and TV production: Film and television production is a key component of the bachelor's programme. You will gain television production expertise within single- and multi-camera productions (fiction, documentary, reportage, events). There is also a strong focus on directing related to these productions along with cinematography, post production and digital workflow. All this is provided through basic courses during the first year. During the second year you can choose to focus more towards film production, script development and directing or select multi-camera production inside our production course. In that course you can choose short fiction/TV drama series or multicam productions. Multi-camera production may include larger sports and event productions/concerts. The productions are distributed either live online, on the big screen or on-demand.

In the third year, you will be introduced to more professional work in production groups and choose your focused area inside of a larger production. The bachelor's programme ends with a bachelor production where students themselves set up and plan a pilot production or work with the industry in an internship. In your bachelor production there is a larger focus on reflection and use of relevant theory and methodology for your production.

Project work and entrepreneurship: The programme has a strong focus on project work and teamwork. As a student, you will be linked to external clients from industry and must learn to handle problems both individually and in groups. We also work a lot with entrepreneurship: organise entrepreneurial camps and have a separate course where the focus is on production management. Several students choose to start their own student companies during their studies, and we have a structure to help you with this together with partners.

Software: As a student you have access to industry standard software, such as:

• Adobe Creative Cloud
• ProTools
• BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve
• Special software that fits to your projects
