Develop your voice as an independent filmmaker in a Masters course
Would you like to study filmmaking on your own terms? The Raindance Postgraduate Film Degree* allows filmmakers to achieve a Staffordshire University Masters degree in a film-related field of their own choosing, in a structure they personally negotiate with their tutors and industry collaborators on a part-time or full-time basis.
Personalised Learning
Are personal relationships still possible in education with all the cuts and online facilities? Developing the age-old student-mentor relationship that made leading Universities like Oxford and Cambridge so successful further into the digital age, is a key feature of the Raindance Postgraduate Film Degree. Learning activities include:
- Planning and completing your films, scripts, getting package documentation ‘market-ready’, or other research with guidance from an experienced tutor, including negotiating access to local production resources like equipment, collaborators, finance and marketing opportunities.
- Full access to Raindance workshops, lectures and networking events
- Access to regular face to face seminars and meetings in a London based study group, or catch up via podcast.
- Tutorials via Skype, email or landline when internet is not available with Raindance founder Elliot Grove and other tutors
- Your own self-planned examination of relevant films, resources and related books, trade magazines, interviews, reviews
Would you like to develop your film project as part of a postgraduate degree?
The learning activities, pathways and even the final degree title on the certificate are negotiated individually with the student, full-time or part-time, depending on evolving career and project aims. Subject to Staffordshire University approval, the award will be an MA and an MSc in Film by Negotiated Learning.
