" I've joined The BRIT School in year 10 so I haven't been here for long and yet I've already done so much!  We've learnt about different angles for shots, created mood boards, learnt how to use Premiere Pro and other editing apps. FMP is so good, you learn so much and get to reach out for so many career opportunities. You get to make so many friends and meet so many talented and like-minded people. In regular lessons, the class sizes are smaller so you get to learn so much more."
