London Film School, offer full-time MA Degree courses in both Film Making and Screewriting.

Many designers in film and television will first make a model of their sets, rather than proceed from plan/sketches. For the director, the model has a distinct advantage over sketch designs in that they are 3-dimensional. A white card model can be an extremely useful tool in determining the actual size and scale of a 'set'. When looking through a viewfinder, you can ensure that what you see is a fair representation of what you would expect to see on the screen.

This is a 2-day practical course aimed at those who want to develop model making skills. It would also benefit anyone who might be considering a career in an art department within the film and television industry.
