In your third year, you specialize

The first two years represent a common core curriculum before specializing in the third year among the following six options:

You have a choice of 6 specialties:

• Film production
  Dedicated to writing and directing an advertisement and a fiction film
• Series production
  Dedicated to writing and directing a short series and a pilot for a long series
• Broadcast production
  Dedicated to all broadcast professions. Reports, magazines, Twitch, live duplexes, TV studios, recordings
• Picture
  Dedicated to mastering all cameras on the market, lighting, and framing
• Production
  Dedicated to mastering the organization of a film shoot, from its management to final delivery
• Assembly

You will produce two projects to be screened before a jury.

Each year, students produce at least two productions, each stage of which is supervised by a professional (writing, filming, post-production and jury screening).

Increasingly difficult, these productions culminate in the third year in filming under professional conditions.
