London Perspectives (Autumn Term) In the London Perspectives module, you will explore London through multiple perspectives including your own cultural background and degree discipline.

You will go on field trips and visit relevant venues in mixed-group activities where you act as guides to your cultures and/or subject, thereby fostering collaborative learning. The module uses London to explore what may unite, rather than divide, our areas of study.

At Regent’s, you will learn languages differently. You will learn in a highly practical way, in order to develop skills for authentic communication. At Regent’s, you will receive individual attention in a supportive atmosphere and learn through collaboration and innovative teaching methodologies.

Year 2

Subject Core

Film and Screen Production
Directing for the Screen This is a practical introduction to directing for the screen. You will work with actors to understand the process of developing a character and bringing that performance to the screen.

You will learn how to break the script down – examining and following the preparations an actor would employ. You will explore the intentions, objectives and obstacles the characters face, understanding the true meaning of the text, and the potential of sub-text – the heart of a compelling performance.



You will develop a storyboard for a scene that you will then shoot. Utilising a camera, you will explore how lens choice, depth-of-field, point-of-view, eye-lines, camera motion and choreography can bring the narrative and scene to life.
Narrative Forms In this module you will explore a production mode of your choice – for example, factual filmmaking, studio production, outside broadcast, comedy or reportage.



By deeply investigating film genres, you will learn how different modes of filmmaking require different skills and approaches. Through analysis of examples, and practical applications, you will develop an understanding of how to approach different forms of storytelling. The module will allow you to develop specialisms within specific roles and become adept at teamwork.
Developing for Market In this module, you will investigate the world of the independent creative producer, investigating IP, crowdfunding and development, and how to package projects for the market.

In the first part of the module, you will examine formats and how to develop them for specific markets. You will also cover pitching and presentation.

The module also requires you to attend a relevant short film festival, after which you will research a participating film and produce a short case study to contextualise your own filmmaking ambitions.

The module aims to facilitate the development of team-working, presentation and listening skills: in particular, your ability to put forward logical arguments to support individual perspectives, and to consider and analyse others’ opinions.
In Year 2, you will also choose one of the following Experiencing Industry & Entrepreneurship modules:
Entrepreneurial Challenge Regent’s University London has been quoted as the UK university with the highest density of business founders. In this module, you will develop entrepreneurial thinking about how to grow your own or others’ entrepreneurial ideas.

You will have the freedom to choose between a range of entrepreneurial challenges and explore enterprise opportunities. In doing so, you will develop your own concepts and create an entrepreneurial plan. In collaboration with others, you will develop your entrepreneurial ideas through creative thinking, research and evaluation.

At the end of the module, you will pitch your idea, bringing your concepts closer to an exciting reality. If you have true ambitions to become a founder, the module will also prepare you to complete an individual entrepreneurial project in your final year.
Placement This placement module gives you the opportunity to experience industry and entrepreneurship in an external organisation. Through an immersive piece of work, either within or outside of your discipline, you will apply your knowledge and intellectual and practical skills to real life challenges to develop a critical appreciation of how an organisation operates and evolves.

These insights, skills and knowledge will not only prepare you for your next level of study, but they will also help you to build the attributes required to realise your future ambitions after graduation.
Industry Challenge In this module, you will experience the challenge and pace of the world of work through a real world or live project, chosen from a menu of industry scenarios. This will give you an insight into the culture, practices and commercial contexts of an industry, field or sector within which the project is situated.

The focus of this immersive experience will be on process, as you engage in team building, collaboration and project management, researching and testing concepts and presenting your concepts to address the industry challenge.

The module will support your personal and professional development so that, when you move into the final year of your course, you will be equipped to complete a significant individual project of your choice.

Year 3

Subject Core

Film and Screen Production
The Short Film: The Film and the Filmmaker The two Short Film modules in your final year represent the culmination of the practical, research and creative learning undertaken on the degree.

You will develop specialist technical skills and knowledge, as well as the organisational skills needed to keep projects on track. You will be working with greater autonomy, and you will be assessed on your ability to manage your time, and your crew’s time, and to maintain a pace of work that guarantees a successful project.

The assessment will showcase your skills as an individual filmmaker within the context of a highly collaborative set of tasks. This assignment is arguably the most important in the course, and will enable you to showcase your skills when you graduate.
The Short Film: The Film and the Market The two Short Film modules in your final year represent the culmination of the practical, research and creative learning undertaken on the degree.

You will have the opportunity to use all the filmmaking skills gained on the degree and you will develop a coherent and comprehensive marketing strategy recognising your short film’s place in the market. Reflecting the remit of the degree you will be working to an industry standard, contextualising your final film within a market framework and identifying its place in the commercial arena. It gives you the opportunity to emerge from the degree as a production professional bringing together skills learnt throughout the three years of the programme.
