Specializations

in the 3rd year, to learn your job
As our program allows you to be employable from the end of the 3rd year, specialization is of great importance.

The choice of specialization

Specialization is of great importance in the training cycle. Our program allows you to be employable from the end of 3th year. Indeed, the professional experience of the 3th year carried out according to the choice of specialization, considerably determines the exercise of the profession.


For students who follow the full course, the choice of specialization is built gradually and allows the student to ensure the adequacy between his desires, his abilities and the choice of profession. AMCA offers 5 specializations oriented around major functions in the production of a film.

The organization of the specialization year is optional. Each option will follow courses adapted to the chosen specialization with some common courses that can be used for good collaboration between the sections. Students, each in their specialization, will participate in the shooting of a short film by a director in the appropriate position.


La 3th year is entirely devoted to field practice, with everyone assuming their role in the production chain of fiction, according to their specialization.

An initial course completed by internships

This comprehensive course allows students to combine courses, experience through internships on several projects, which will add a real plus to the CV and allow students to build a network of professionals that will be very useful after graduation. AMCA is based on the principles of a Major (Independent) by being completely autonomous, from design to marketing.

For learning to be complete, the actors are at the heart of production and still active in order to be able to apply to students the exact creation and manufacturing trend of the moment, to adapt or even anticipate the constantly changing needs of the world of images.

The 5 sections work together on filming exercises in order to create the optimal conditions for learning artistic, technical and production collaboration between the various actors involved in a film. They are supervised by working professionals.

Objective

At the end of the course, each student will be able to mobilize their skills in the field of cinema and audiovisual. In particular, they will be able to:

  • Design the scenario for a film or television project, mastering the narrative techniques and requirements specific to these media.
  • Make short films, feature films or series, managing all stages of production, from preparation to filming.
  • Perform post-production operations, such as editing, calibration, and sound mixing, to finalize projects with professional quality.
  • Implement production, coordinating teams, managing budgets and ensuring compliance with deadlines.

At the end of this training, students will be ready to enter the world of cinema and audiovisual. They will be able to create and manufacture films, applying the skills acquired to meet the industry standards.

In other words,
The AMCA is

A team of passionate teachers.

At AMCA, we are convinced that passion is the driving force behind all sustainable learning. This is why our teaching team is made up of film and audiovisual professionals who have made the choice to pass on their knowledge with rigor, but above all with enthusiasm. Directors, cinematographers, editors, screenwriters, screenwriters, sound engineers or producers, our teachers share concrete experience in the field, enriched by years of practice. Their mission: to offer much more than technical education.

They inspire, guide and support each student in their uniqueness, to help them affirm a personal vision of cinema. Far from impersonal lectures, our workshops favour interaction, constructive criticism and ongoing dialogue. This strong human bond between teachers and students contributes to creating a dynamic and stimulating learning environment. Thanks to this proximity, each student benefits from individualized follow-up, adapted to their development and ambitions. At AMCA, you will not only learn a profession: you will discover a community of image makers, committed to the emergence of a new generation of daring filmmakers.

Premises equipped with the latest equipment.

Learning cinema today also means mastering tools that meet professional standards. This is why AMCA provides its students with an exceptional technical environment. Our premises, designed to promote creativity and collaboration, are equipped with the latest generation of audiovisual equipment. 4K digital cameras, high-end sound equipment, professional editing stations, professional editing stations, soundproof studios, calibration room, mixing room, TV control rooms: each space is designed to reproduce real shooting and post-production conditions. Whether for educational exercises or personal projects, our students have free and supervised access to these equipment throughout their training.

The objective is clear: to allow everyone to become familiar with the tools used in the industry from the first year, in order to be fully operational at the end of school. This technological immersion is reinforced by regular training in reference software (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Pro Tools, After Effects...). At AMCA, we believe that technical mastery is inseparable from creative freedom. It is by giving yourself the right tools that you will be able to create images that look like you.

Partnerships with the big names in cinema.

The AMCA forges strong links with major cinema and audiovisual professionals and institutions, to open the doors of the real world to its students. These partnerships take multiple forms: masterclasses with recognized directors and technicians, acting workshops with established actors, writing residencies in collaboration with festivals, co-production projects with partner studios, visits to film sets... Thanks to these privileged connections, our students can enrich their learning in direct contact with those who make today's cinema.

These exchanges also offer numerous opportunities for internships, film assistants or participation in festivals. The school is thus thought of as a real springboard towards professional integration. These collaborations also feed into our educational program, which is continuously updated in line with changes in the industry. We believe that meeting the big names in the sector stimulates ambition, cultivates high standards and offers future filmmakers a wider perspective on the realities of the profession. At AMCA, you will never be alone: you will be surrounded, supported and inspired by a network in motion.

Follow-up even in the professional world.

Entering AMCA means embarking on a structuring journey, which does not end with the diploma. Our mission is to support each student beyond training, until their integration into the world of work. From the last year, we offer personalized support for professional integration: writing artistic files, preparing for calls for projects, helping to create a business or an intermittent status, networking with recruiters or producers, etc.

Numerous mechanisms are in place to facilitate this transition: pitch events, job advertising platforms, individual coaching, interview preparation modules, mentoring by former students. This follow-up is possible thanks to a strong link with our network of alumni, who are regularly asked to intervene or recruit. The world of cinema is demanding, sometimes unstable: we want each graduate to come out equipped, confident, ready to adapt. The AMCA is not only a school: it is an ecosystem that continues to support you, even once you are in active life. Because making a movie, setting up a production company or joining a film crew requires preparation. And that's what we're here for.
