From the swinging London streets
of Alfie, to contemporary movies
such as 28 Days Later, to Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the
city has been a unique backdrop
to an enormous range of films.
London has a broad
film festival scene
and the city hosts
over 50 film festivals
annually. (British Council 2014)
4 9
London has also been the
key location for some world
famous Oscar-winning
movies over the last decade
including The Iron Lady
and The King’s Speech.
Being a student in London will allow
you to experience one of the most
diverse cities in the world, where
more than 300 languages are spoken
and a wealth of different cultures
and communities live side by side.
5 10
Studying in London means you have
access to a huge range of filmmaking
resources. London houses the
British Film Institute, The Cinema
Museum, The Kubrick Archives
and The London Film Museum.
However long a person lives
in London it’s impossible
to see it all. There’s always
something different, new
and creative happening!
3 8
The capital is also a great place to
find work in the film industry; with the
UK’s largest film studios based either
within or in easy reach of London.
These include: Pinewood, Ealing,
Shepperton and 3 Mills studios.
Across 2014 London continued to
attract productions from around the
world. Key feature film franchises to
use London as their base included the
Avengers sequel: Age of Ultron and
Night at the Museum 3. (Film London 2014)
1 6
The capital also boasts
one of the world’s
most vibrant art-house
cinema scenes and a
multitude of film clubs.
Since 2004 filming in
the capital has risen by
a massive 30% making it
one of the world’s busiest
filming cities. (Film London 2014)

METFILMSCHOOL
BERLIN
INTERNATIONAL
STUDENTS
Met Film School was founded in 2003, and
following its success in the UK went on to
launch a second campus in Berlin at the
heart of independent filmmaking. Met Film
School Berlin follows exactly the same ethos
as the school in London, offering an intensive
practical filmmaking experience taught by
industry professionals in an active film studio.
Students are able to feel completely integrated
within the Berlin filmmaking community,
working in an environment that is steeped in
cinematic and filmmaking history. Classes are
primarily in English, in accordance with the
school’s accreditation with the University of
West London, with a selection of short courses
taught in German.
Berlin is an exciting, cosmopolitan cultural hub
that continues to attract filmmakers and artists
from around the world. Berlin has a strong TV,
film and creative start-up community: together
they make up a professional workforce of over
300,000.
Filmmakers from around the globe are
attracted to Berlin with around 300 films being
shot there each year. The Berlin International
Film Festival is one of the most prestigious
film festivals in the world with an emphasis on
showcasing new filmmakers and independent
film productions.

Courses offered at Met Film School Berlin:
Met Film School Berlin is based at BUFA, the
studio that has been home to film productions
since the Weimar Republic and is one of the
oldest film studios in Europe. The school’s
location enables students to have first-hand
experience of a working film studio on a
day-to-day basis, and also places them in the
heart of the city. Today BUFA is an active film
studio whose stages offer a wealth of filming
experiences – Greenscreen, live-TV studio set
up, a standing set used for TV production and
large stage for commercial use. The studio
is home to in-house production companies,
a camera / lighting rental house, a prop
house, a set building company and post-
production facilities.
Berlin is an affordable option for international
students choosing to study within Europe. A
good standard of accommodation is available
at relatively low-cost and living expenses
are kept low, with an all-day ticket for public
transport costing around €6. Non-EU students
are also able to work 180 half days per year
(four hours a day) while they study with Met
Film School Berlin, making it a really attractive
destination for international study.

THEINDUSTRY
Met Film School is not just a film school, its part of an enterprise that
makes films, teaches people the skills needed to make films and offers
postproduction services to the industry.
Currently its production company Met Film Production is in postproduction
on two films, Jim Loach’s second feature which was shot in Australia in
March 2013 and the documentary How To Change The World which is
backed by the BFI and Sky.
During 2013 it released Village at the End of the World and The Great Hip
Hop Hoax, which premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival. In 2012 Met
Film Production’s Town of Runners, conceived and co-produced by
graduate Dan Demissie and post-produced by Met Film Post, opened at
the Tribeca Film Festival and was seen by audiences around the world.
Other films released include The Infidel starring Omid Djalili and written by
author and comedian David Baddiel, Little Ashes starring Robert Pattinson,
French Film starring Hugh Bonneville and Eric Cantona, and the award-
winning documentaries, Donor Unknown and Men Who Swim.

CAMPUS
Regardless of their study programme the
school encourages students to be resourceful
and pragmatic when it comes to production
planning, as these are skills that will be
transferable to all types of productions.
The School’s kit room is equipped with a range
of sound, camera and lighting kits for students
on their films, as well as exercises throughout
the courses. Students on longer programmes
will act as crew on each other’s films, supported
by external professionals where appropriate. By
taking on a range of on-set roles, students gain the
well-rounded production experience needed to aid
their development as independent filmmakers.
The main Met Film School campus is located on-
site at Ealing Studios. Lessons take place in their
teaching rooms or, if they include shooting exercises,
around campus. Aside from scheduled teaching
sessions, students have access to the school to
continue working on their projects independently.
Students store their rushes on portable hard
drives and they can use one of 100+ Apple
workstations to edit whenever the school is open.
In addition, the School aims to provide additional
support for those starting their higher education. It
offers students on accredited courses a complimentary
and voluntary online course to help them get to know
their fellow students, the school, a virtual learning
environment and of course the language of filmmaking.
This course provides students with a valuable
induction to the school, with long-lasting benefits.
The School has a wide range of
camera facilities. Students on
one and two year courses will
receive training on the Sony EX3
which is an industry workhorse,
used films such as District 9 and
Battle: Los Angeles. They will also
receive training on large sensor
cameras, such as the Red Scarlet
and the Sony F3. The School
will help to assist students in
selecting the most appropriate
resources for their projects.
Met Film School has its own sound
stage located within the Ealing
Studios lot, which is used for
various practical workshops and
teaching sessions, a multicamera
studio and gallery. In addition to
the sound stage, students at Met
Film School will experience a range
of shooting environments. Our
Ealing campus includes a number
of studios and teaching rooms
which offer a variety of shooting
possibilities and are used for
teaching and practical exercises .
The kit room offers all the
equipment that students require
to set up the basics for their shoot.
This includes three-point lighting
systems, sound kits and grips.
The kit room also holds boom
poles, zeppelins, radio mics, hard
drive sound recorders, mixers,
dedo lights, flo lights, 1k and
2k fresnel lights and a range of
dollies. A complement of lighting
grip equipment (c-stands, magic
arms, flags and polyboard) is
also available to help students
learn the craft of lighting.

Met Film School offers a range of one-year full-time
programmes in a selection of filmmaking disciplines
including Directing, Screenwriting, Business and
Producing, Postproduction and Cinematography.
All programmes are led by experienced industry
practitioners. In addition, a selection of high-
profile guest speakers from the creative industries
provide additional guidance to students.
Students all participate in the Induction Lab
module at the start of their study, allowing them
to be immersed in filmmaking practice and
moving image theory, as the conceptual bedrock
that informs the rest of their programmes.
Each MA programme is divided into six-20 credit
modules followed by a 60-credit module comprising
the final Masters Project. Across the six modules
students will attend a series of lectures, screenings,
seminars, practice-based exercises and workshops,
as well as work independently to create projects for
their portfolio, demonstrating craft and creativity
to an advanced degree. In addition, students will
be required to conduct scholarly research within
their chosen programme as the basis of critical
and reflective written work that links to their
filmmaking practice. Students will also receive
one-to-one tutorial support throughout the year.
In addition, all MA students will work alongside each
other to respond to a professional brief from an
external client to produce an industry project. This
project gives students the opportunity to find out
what it’s like to work as part of a multi-disciplinary
creative team. Clients have included charities
such as Stonewall (UK’s leading Gay and Lesbian
campaigning group) and Stent for Life (a European
charity working to reduce heart attack fatalities)
and new start-up AllCreative (a new website
aimed at providing comprehensive information
about careers in the creative industries).

This programme is designed to give students
a comprehensive grasp of the creative and
technical responsibilities of directors today
within a historical, cultural and industrial context.
Through a dynamic blend of seminars,
practical workshops, exercises and screenings,
students will focus on the core elements of
visual language, narrative storytelling and
performance. Students will learn and practice
a variety of directing approaches, working with
actors and collaborating with other members
of the creative team. Individuals will work with
other students from their cohort to produce
their own distinctive work while supporting
each other across a variety of filmed exercises.
Additional topics covered on this programme
include the life and work of a director,
fundamentals of dramaturgy, the role of
improvisation, script analysis and preparation,
a survey of directing techniques and how
creative and psychological approaches
inform the director’s process.
The goal of this programme is to develop
the craft skills and technological proficiency
that ultimately frees the director to take
creative risks and guide the audience
through a dramatic experience.
The programme is delivered in three phases.
Phase one is delivered over nine weeks
and consists of the Induction Lab module
followed by Directing Bootcamp, which covers
the key creative and technical skills that
anchor the director’s craft and provide the
foundation for more advanced techniques.
Phase two is delivered over twenty-four
weeks and starts with Advanced Techniques
for Directing Actors, which provides students
with an overview of key directing theories
and analysis of the actor’s contribution to
the creative process. This is followed by
Director’s Craft and Creative Collaboration,
which synthesizes knowledge and skills gained
in previous modules towards the director’s
collaborative role in the wider industry.
During this module students will work across
programmes on an industry project. This
is followed by Visual Language of Cinema,
which focuses on the core methodologies
and techniques for visual storytelling. Finally,
Research and Project Methods is a module
that runs concurrently across Phase two
and it is designed to support students in the
preparation of their final Master’s Project.
Phase three is delivered over twelve weeks
and is a self-directed module dedicated to the
development of the Master’s Project. Each
student will work under the guidance of a faculty
advisor and demonstrate the necessary skill-set
required to direct a final short film in any genre.

BA(HONS)PRACTICALFILMMAKING
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
Taking the BA over a three-year period is
ideal for those who are looking for a more
traditional degree study structure. It is
taught over 30 weeks per year for three
years. Students will take exactly the same
modules covered in the school’s Two-Year
BA (Hons) Practical Filmmaking, but study
at a different pace. This programme allows
students to gain experience in a range of
filmmaking areas. Spaces on this study option
are limited and early application is advised.
In year one, students study Foundations
in Filmmaking, which introduces them to
key filmmaking techniques; including the
writing process, directing actors, camera,
lighting and sound practices and editing
content culminating in the making of
a short film project. This is followed by
Making Short Films, which brings together
the key skills learned in Foundations
in Filmmaking allowing students to
create a second short narrative film.
In year two students study Professional
Practice, which explores current and evolving
models in film, TV and new media. Students
devise and shoot short documentaries and
work collaboratively to produce an episodic
web-series written produced and directed
by the group. This is followed by Crafting
Narratives, which covers an exploration
of film genres plus further development
of directing, writing and editing skills
as well as multi-camera production.
