Screen Practice 3A focuses on the further refinement of practical film making skills attained in Screen Practice 2B, with emphasis on the staged development of a substantial short film script to be realised in Screen Practice 3B (Semester 2).
Students will also learn how to effectively articulate and communicate creative concepts for their graduate films in non-script forms. A philosophical and theoretical framework in how to approach filmmaking is explored through research.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- devise and develop an engaging and practicable screenplay for a short film;
- formulate a process for generating and refining a screen-based story concept;
- demonstrate advanced communication techniques in the presentation of a film concept in non-script form;
- give and receive script and story feedback at an industry level;
- create and present an industry standard director's treatment.
