The course gives students the opportunity to work on original online and social video production, 360 Video and VR, digital products, apps and game development, and multi-platform TV production.
This course aims to give students all they need to become a digital producer of innovative media content. We want to get you pitching ideas for new formats and systems that will be a hit on TV, YouTube, Facebook and the countless other platforms used for transmitting and receiving content around the world today.
The course, delivered in partnership with Sky, gives students the opportunity to work on original online and social video production, 360 Video and VR, digital products, apps and game development, multi-platform TV production and social media.
Sessions will be taught by industry experts, and there’ll be opportunities to collaborate with students from other specialisms, including Games Design and Development and a host of film and television production courses.
All NFTS students can attend the School’s masterclasses programme, with recent guests including Martin McDonagh (In Bruges, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Killing Eve), Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna, Diego Maradona), Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here, We Need to Talk About Kevin), Louis Theroux, and M Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Glass).
The Creative Producing for Digital Platforms Diploma teaches you the skills you need to devise, develop and deliver interactive and immersive experiences that audiences of the future will love.
The film and television industries – along with the wider creative industries and the independent arts sector – need people who understand what makes good digital content and how people like to watch, browse, interact and play online.
You’ll become conversant with the relevant interactive, transmedia and digital production skills required to maximise the potential of films, television programmes and creative content across new platforms. You’ll learn to track and retain audiences, build presence and encourage a loyalty to brands and programmes. You’ll be designing new forms of media, and understanding how those forms fit their market and find their audience.
The course will be full-time over 12 months (starting in January each year) and will be delivered at the NFTS in its historic studios, with regular visits to London-based production companies and time spent at Sky Studios.
