Collaboration is at the heart of design for both screen and stage. Students will identify and implement methods for collaboratively developing their designs with the technicians who will contribute to their realisation.
In developing these skills, students will be working and interacting with others involved in realising productions for either the stage or the screen. Collaborators may include artisans, managers, technicians and other designers. Students will develop practical skills in producing their designs and integrate a sophisticated understanding of the processes required to achieve designs in a professional context into their practice.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- select and utilise appropriate materials for the realisation of stage or screen designs;
- apply basic technical skills in the realisation of designs for stage or screen;
- collaborate productively with others, using creativity and initiative;
- implement appropriate methods and techniques for adapting and finishing sets and/or costumes.
Generic skills
- Advanced skills and techniques applicable to the discipline;
- well-developed problem-solving abilities in the discipline area, characterised by flexibility of approach;
- a capacity to manage competing demands on time, including self-directed project work;
