MA COURSES
Cinematography
The NFTS is the only UK film school where you can specialise in cinematography rather than studying it as a module in a more generalist filmmaking course. It is also the only cinematography course taught by one of the UK’s leading cinematographers, Brian Tufano, who shot (amongst other things) Trainspotting.

This programme explores the many ways in which the cinematographer participates in the collaborative process of translating screenplays into meaningful and stimulating films. Exercises, workshops, masterclasses and productions, supported by critical and analytical study of the history and development of cinematography, give students a solid foundation in the art and craft of their future career.

Cinematography graduates are in demand in the UK, Europe and the US and go on to work in both film and television. Recent new graduates have found work as 2nd Unit DoPs on feature films, and have shot commercials, episodic television series and documentaries for Channel 4, Granada and BSkyB, as well as short films and TV programmes for a variety of independent production companies.
