AI Filmmaking — Campus Short Course
Use AI as part of a real filmmaking process, from the first idea and script to visuals, editing and release. The course is designed for beginners and creators who want to work faster without losing the story, judgement and human direction behind the work.
Learn the full process.
This short course starts with story and uses AI where it can genuinely help: exploring ideas, preparing visual references, generating selected assets, testing treatments, supporting post-production and adapting content for different platforms.
Saturday sessions are practical. Learners develop a small project, make choices about what should be created traditionally and what can be assisted by AI, and leave with a finished piece and a clearer, responsible workflow.
Skills you can use.
- Develop a clear idea, audience and format for a short film or digital video.
- Write a concise script and prepare a practical production plan.
- Use AI tools for ideation, visual development, selected assets and voice workflows.
- Capture or generate material that supports a consistent visual direction.
- Edit, refine and prepare the work for an intended platform.
- Recognise consent, copyright, disclosure and quality issues in AI-assisted work.
Knowledge. Practice. Workplace experience.
Classes are presented in person on Saturdays and combine explanation, demonstrations and guided practical work. The campus and start date depend on the published intake timetable.
Equipment and software are used during supervised sessions. Admissions will confirm what learners need to bring and whether any practice outside class is expected.

How progress is assessed.
Learners complete practical exercises, short knowledge checks and a final project or demonstration. Feedback is given throughout the course.
An RMA short-course certificate is issued after the required attendance and assessment work has been completed successfully. This is a non-credit-bearing provider course, not a QCTO occupational qualification.
