I was a bit skeptical about taking an online course, but the Graduate Certificate in Film Studies at Stanmore School of Business really surprised me with its quality and depth. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, and the instructors did a great job of facilitating discussions and providing feedback. I appreciated the focus on practical skills, such as film production and post-production, which gave me a solid understanding of the technical aspects of filmmaking. One area where I think the course could be improved is in providing more opportunities for collaboration and teamwork – sometimes it felt like we were working in isolation. Nevertheless, I'm happy with what I learned and would recommend this course to others who are interested in film studies. The price was also very reasonable, which was a big plus for me.
