Creating Sustainable Screen Productions (FLTV20023)

This subject educates students on the various processes a screen production undergoes from idea to distribution. The subject focusses on the intricate relationship between the screenplay, the production methodology, and the outcome that an audience perceives on-screen.

Students are introduced to the responsibilities of the Producer, Showrunner, Line Producer, Executive Producer and other associated roles of the screenwriting and production departments. Detailed practical exercises in designing development, budgeting and casting documents will give students a solid grounding in managing screen projects from their initial development phase through to the raising of finance.

This subject also includes a focus on fostering sustainable screen productions. Students will learn the skills to develop production methodologies that are ecologically sound, socially just and economically viable with a view to carbon-neutral screen productions. 

The subject will be a combination of guest seminars and tutorials.
