1. Purpose and educational approach

Mighty Filmmakers’ Core Four Programme is an independent, alternative film education programme focused on developing practical filmmaking skills through production, collaboration and student-led learning. It is not a traditional, tutor-led film school. Students take an active role in shaping their learning and contributing to the programme’s creative community.

​

2. Mighty Filmmakers’ responsibilities

Mighty Filmmakers will draw on its filmmaking and educational experience to provide guidance, constructive feedback and support throughout the programme. This support is intended to help students develop their practical skills, strengthen their creative practice, build their portfolios and work towards establishing themselves as filmmakers.

Student-led learning does not remove Mighty Filmmakers’ responsibility to provide the support and learning opportunities described in the programme information.

​

3. Student responsibilities

Students are the principal driving force behind their own development and the programme’s collaborative activity. By accepting a place, students commit to:

• Taking initiative and responsibility for their learning and creative development.

• Dedicating sufficient time and sustained effort to programme activities and film projects.

• Attending required sessions and fulfilling agreed responsibilities.

• Participating actively in collaborative productions and the wider programme community.

• Engaging constructively with guidance, feedback and opportunities for reflection.

• Contributing reliably and respectfully to shared work, recognising that their participation affects the learning and progress of others.

​

4. Progress and outcomes

The programme provides a supportive framework for development; participation alone does not guarantee a particular level of achievement, employment or professional recognition. Progress depends on students’ engagement, practice, initiative and collaboration, alongside the guidance and opportunities provided by Mighty Filmmakers.

​

5. Acknowledgement on acceptance

By accepting a place on the Core Four Programme, students confirm that they understand its alternative, skills-focused and student-led approach, accept the participation responsibilities outlined above, and recognise that sustained personal effort and contribution are essential to benefiting from the programme.
