This subject is designed to stimulate students to think about the essential craft aspects of film-making from the perspective of the producer. Through collaborative filmmaking exercises and engaging in supporting roles in student film productions, students will develop a range of skills in the practical managerial and organisational aspects of producing.
The subject will be taught through a blended approach; combining online discussions, with industry led tours, pre-set collaboration exercises and inquiry based case studies in a tutorial setting.
Pre-set readings and VCA produced short films will drive the online discussions, aimed at critically evaluating the creative areas relevant to the craft of film-making. Students will examine the factors a producer must address to ensure a production is successfully realised within the legislative, economic and logistical frameworks relevant to the Australian screen industry.
