The Bachelor of Design Arts (Filmmaking & Photography) applies a holistic approach to the creative field of Design from the perspective of visual narrative. Commencing with still images in our photography school in Melbourne, you will learn the practical components of digital photography in studio and location environments and develop a strong foundation in digital workflow and image correction and composite photography.

You will expand your creativity by migrating to moving image and filmmaking; working with actors, producing live action narrative based short films, and gaining an insight into digital visual effects and animation. We provide a broad grounding of the discipline of the moving image throughout our film making courses in Melbourne.

You also have the flexibility to include a sub-major within one of the other disciplines to strengthen your perspective.

Film & Photography Courses in Melbourne with Cutting-Edge Facilities

Students will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to render and create their stories. Initiate a studio-based photo shoot with models set against a green screen to then composite to another world in Photoshop. Or find yourself out on location shooting a narrative based short film on our high-end 4k Black Magic cameras, with video post-production workflow in the Adobe Creative Suite. Wherever your imagination takes you, at LCI Melbourne, you’ll be challenged and excited by the possibilities.
