Film

MAP students can learn how to plan and produce their own films, including storyboarding, camera techniques and video editing. Films could be short dramas, documentaries, music videos or experimental work. MAP students can also take part in special group film projects that help develop teamwork skills - an important part of the programme.

MAP have led a number of outreach film projects, including work with special needs groups, young parents and local youth centres. Additional funding from organisations such as First Light has allowed young people at MAP to work with professional film-makers on large scale projects.
