Film and Television

Facilities and Equipment

Students of Film and Television have access to professional quality equipment for producing, editing and viewing their work. Our field cameras are matched to our studio cameras, and the studio cameras are mounted on fully professional gas operated and steerable pedestals such as you will find in any of the top studios in the world.

In 2008 the Film and TV area completed a million dollar upgrade to high definition (HD) broadcast quality equipment, including new HD cameras and associated apparatus. All the video cameras at Curtin capture their images digitally, and all post-production (editing and sound mixing) is done on industry standard computer-based digital systems - Premier Pro for first years, Premier Pro and Final Cut Pro for second years, and Avid for third years. Our students use the latest Pyramix digital sound mixing system.

We have always maintained the importance of having professional standard equipment - which is why we offer our students the opportunity in their final year to shoot either digital video or 16mm film.
