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.
Through this, students will gain more understanding, experience and confidence in contributing to the production process in preparation for taking on roles with greater responsibility.
In addition, students will be introduced to common roles and processes in filmmaking that involve set, costume, lighting and sound.
Intended learning outcomes
On successful completion of this subject students should be able to:
- successfully undertake production roles that requires some responsibility in more than one specialist area;
- demonstrate a deeper understanding of the production process and the relationship between different areas of technical theatre;
- generate basic paperwork relevant to a specific area of technical theatre;
- demonstrate an understanding of production processes within the film and television industry.
