Two Year Film Makeup and Hair Academy
This two year course that teaches cinema makeup, trains students the very high standard of makeup and hair artistry techniques that are expected within the film industry by chief makeup designers.
Those who complete the full training can always veer towards television and fashion.
This course is aimed at those persons requiring a much greater and gradual introduction to the art of makeup artistry. Being the longest of Brushstroke courses, it assures the training required for those needing a wider duration of subject matter, and those wishing to establish themselves wholly within cinema makeup artistry. It is designed for dedicated students who have a passionate interest for the film, television and fashion industry.
A two year course allows students extended practising hours, hands on every day as well as covering additional techniques. (18 months actual training with academically structured term times which makes the course a two year duration).
Training within a film studio for two years means that students have the opportunity to build potential contacts and experience what it is like to be within this working environment. Brushstroke average on three work placements a week. Throughout the course students are assessed in practical assignments, self-presentation and attitude.
During the two year training, all students must take photos of their own work on each subject taught to produce evidence in a folder ready for assessment at the end of each term.
Brushstroke makes sure that students produce good portfolio evidence, and are able to work with a professional photographer in his photographic studio or Brushstroke make-up rooms, and have the ability to work with models from professional model agencies (subject to their availability).
We also highly recommended that students take their own photos, preferably with a digital camera, for their own references.
Please remember that all course work is covered and that Brushstroke reserve the right to change the course syllabus and alternate terms, purely for the benefit of the students.
As part of the course syllabus once a month each class will spend half a day doing general duties. This is to help them control and maintain all stock that they use. This is a very important duty expected from any make up team working in the industry. It is also to keep a high standard of hygiene and discipline.
Term breaks (holidays) are allocated whilst courses are on. Please note that breaks may not always match other colleges and length of term times may alter. Should the course fall on any public holidays, these shall be taken as days off.
Brushstroke allocates one day per week for tutorial sessions for those students who require them.
Past students have acted as ambassadors for our company and have carved solid careers for themselves in many different forms of the media, from broadcast television and film to popular high fashion publications. Students will be held on our agency books as we are called upon from time to time to provide make up artists with various levels of experience.
