In this subject, students apply their developing knowledge and skills to VCA productions by being allocated to junior roles within the Production Team. Some of these roles are: Assistant Stage Manager, Workshop Crew, Costume Crew, Lighting Crew, Sound Crew, or similar.

In addition, students will be introduced to common roles and processes in filmmaking that involve set, costume, lighting and sound.
Intended learning outcomes
