This subject will offer students greater insight to the new horizons of screen producing for multi-platform approaches. Screen producing as it was in the twentieth century has been forever disrupted in the twenty-first. The once standard 'industrial model' exemplified by the studio system has been diminished by the impact of new technologies and an evolving social awareness of the need for diverse voices and alternative approaches to storytelling and program making.
Drawing on the knowledge and experience of industry guest speakers and case studies, students will explore approaches to producing that range from the traditional white-western 'auteur' model to the more varied and distinct. Students will study diverse cultural voices and participatory models of screen-making that are made possible in the digital realm, along with the parallel modes of gaming and virtual reality.
Students will research and explore across this spectrum to identify the methodologies and philosophies that best suit the producer's work in and across different spheres.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- evaluate and contextualise technological and content innovations spanning the global screen industry;
- examine a range of emerging and contemporary producing approaches to determine their impact on content, methodology and audience;
- critically evaluate the 'disruption' of the film value chain model and its impact on the screen industry;
- critically analyse the screen industry within contemporary discourse about diversity and representation;

- create and organise aesthetic material;
- use a range of research tools and methodologies;
- solve problems;
- interpret and analyse;
