4 MONTHS CERTIFICATE COURSE

Would you like to find out about the entire wardrobe aspect of filmmaking?

This course is designed as a basic introduction into the importance of costume and wardrobe to support the role of actors as well as the visual language of film production. You will be given basic and professional insight into what is expected from a modern day costume designer. This course will awaken you to the world that surrounds you and how it is reflected on screen. The course aims to develop confident and experimental practitioners who will push the boundaries of the subject of costume beyond its established traditional role.

Students' work proposes new ways through which the costumed body is viewed as the centre of performance. Students design, realise and experiment with costume based performance ideas that enable them to define their individual voice in relation to contemporary culture and practice, while responding visually to the relevant dramatic / performance context. Specifically two projects - performer in time and space and costume on film - articulate, respectively, the value of costume for live and recorded media.

Also this basic and highly practical one-year certificate program will give you the hands-on training you need to become a professional make-up designer in all disciplines of the performing and entertainment arts. You'll be qualified to do professional make-up and basic hair styling at an entry level for motion picture and television productions, stage shows, corporate videos, photographic and fashion shoots, among others. The opportunities for work in the marketplace are numerous and varied.
