I study what my uni likes to call the moving image. Essentially its a traditional film and television production course with new media, animation etc thrown in. Its a pretty relevant course really. Its less theoretical and more practical in its focus, so for assessments we have to find work in crews and get a certain amount of hours in that role on top of the usual shorts you do (plus the essays etc).
Here's an example of some work I did for a fashion house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klsDEBqRx_M I co-shot it with hd cameras and edited it. Make sure you select "high quality", the image is much improved.
In regards to films. A feature film that my mates and I are self funding just started filming today :)
