BA (Hons) Film and Moving Image Production
Michael Dardis
I am a Cinematography specialist graduate from Norwich university of the Arts, film has been my life, all my life. When I turned 16 I worked every weekend to buy a camera and computer to film and edit. During the course of my degree, I have taken my passion, resilience and experienced as many roles as possible within filmmaking. I love writing directing and editing, but cinematography, designing lighting and being behind the camera, drives me forward. I am 100% engaged when setting up cameras and lights, I’ve gained the confidence through this course to say when something small isn’t right, and get it fixed, immediately. I’ve learned to work faster and smarter, cheating angles, and positions through lensing and lighting. Film gives my life purpose, and being able to put everything that I am, the things I see in my head, and make them reality gives me my drive.
