The first week of the course is devoted to pre-production in which students can break into groups of four and create a script through extensive research and location scouting for a DIGITAL DOCUMENTARY PRODUCTION on THE BRITISH DIFFERENCE.
During the second week, students in groups of four, with a British graduate assistant from the University of Westminster, go out on location around London and its environs to shoot their projects. The third week is devoted to post-production on high-end Media 100 editing components to create a final video that includes multiple sound tracks as well as state of the art visuals.
