Business of Producing 1 will prepare students to undertake the key business aspects of producing, both for short form works created in the film school environment and for projects outside the academy.
Producers require a sophisticated and nuanced understanding of their responsibilities across a range of fields of expertise, including law, finance, production management, industrial relations and employment and market awareness.
This subject will cover topics in these fields of expertise grounding students in the historical and theoretical practice of the Australian film and television industry to inform contemporary practice and discourse.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- articulate informed knowledge of current policy, research and theory that affect screen industry practice;
- evaluate production implications when developing screen projects with creative partners;
- create a business management plan in accordance with contemporary screen practice;
- apply the above insights to real-world cases and situations.
