Central Film School provides students with all the facilities and equipment they’ll need on their learning journey. Depending on the needs of specific shoots and programme modules, students will also have access to off-site facilities and spaces.
All student films at the school are shot on professional-grade equipment across both digital and film. Students begin working with the Canon EOS C100, then progress to larger, more demanding cameras like the C300, BlackMagic 4K Cinema Camera, Arri ALEXA and even the ARRI SRIII Super 16mm. Central Film School students train on industry-standard sound and lighting kit and learn the skills necessary to operate as a coordinated crew, both on-set and throughout the production process.
Our studio is fully equipped to become anything the script might call for. Professional rigging and the freedom for students to build any set imaginable has allowed it to become a space station, a fortune-teller’s tent, and a Parisian cafe.
A variety of resources is available on campus and with partner resource libraries
The school has its own on-site library with a wide range of books, magazines and DVDs. Access is granted free to all students to take resources home or to use on the premises.
