Screen Practice 1A introduces students to a comprehensive range of craft and technical skills fundamental to industry standard film-making practices. Through practical workshops and class-based film analysis, students develop screen language and production knowledge and apply it to conceiving and realising a short-film project, through all stages of production. Practical assignments are completed within a staggered production schedule. Students will also establish leadership and management skills through designated crewing roles on other student productions in areas such as camera, lighting, and production management. Students attend a series of lectures and talks by visiting industry professionals covering relevant aspects of the screen industry.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- identify the stages of film production and the key roles and responsibilities of the director and other crew members;
- recognise approaches to leadership and management to foster collaborative environments in the film industry;
- apply film language and screen grammar principles in the design and execution of a short film project;
- demonstrate practical film-making skills through all stages of production.
