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.
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.
Generic skills
- communicate in visual form;
- plan and organise work and solve problems;
- lead a team and work collaboratively;
- apply practical knowledge to practical problems.
