Screen Thinking 2 offers students insight into the new horizons of screen production. Topics such as performance direction, multi-platform production, translation of script to screen, camera as story tool, story editing, story development, and interview technique will deepen students' understandings of complex industrial models, collaborative working relationships and individual craft skills.

Drawing on the knowledge and experience of industry guest speakers and case studies, students will research and study diverse cultural voices and participatory models of screen-making made possible in either the analogue or digital realms.

  • critically evaluate the 'disruption' of the film value chain model and its impact on the screen industry;
  • develop alternative modes of knowledge and screen practice, reflecting contemporary discourse around diversity and representation.

  • create and organise aesthetic material;
  • use a range of research tools and methodologies;
  • solve problems;
