The BA in Film Making at Korea National University of Arts is an undergraduate program offered through the School of Film, TV & Multimedia in Seoul. The program focuses on developing creative filmmakers with strong storytelling abilities and technical skills in film production. It aims to train students to create original films while understanding the artistic, cultural, and technical aspects of cinema.
The program typically lasts four years (eight semesters) and combines theoretical study with practical filmmaking training. Students study subjects such as film directing, screenwriting, cinematography, film editing, film history, and visual storytelling. These courses help students understand the creative process of filmmaking from developing ideas and scripts to producing and editing complete films.
Practical production work is a central part of the program. Students work on short films, documentaries, and collaborative film projects, where they gain hands-on experience in directing actors, operating cameras, editing footage, and managing production teams. Through these projects, students learn the full filmmaking process including pre-production, production, and post-production.
Graduates of the BA in Film Making program can pursue careers as film directors, screenwriters, cinematographers, film editors, or media producers. The program prepares students to work in film studios, television production companies, streaming platforms, and digital media industries while contributing to the development of creative cinema and visual storytelling.
