Overview
Film Project 1 is an advanced course in the Film program aimed at transitioning students into the film industry through WIL projects as authentic assessment. Students will rely on previous knowledge, technical skills and practice acquired in courses FSP2001 and FSP2002.
This signature course is the first half of the major production outcome project and involves industry sized crews working together to produce short drama, documentary and screen media programs on digital video or web-based formats. Scripts and projects are competitively pitched at the start of the course, with a select number of projects forming the production slate.
This course explores at an advanced level, the intersection between theory and practice in film related projects. The emphasis will be primarily on developing film practice and the individual identity of the film student as a professional artist. It develops outcomes with a view to identifying and articulating the discoveries made through experiential methodologies in order to develop discipline expertise as graduates looking to enter the film industry.

- be self-managed and utilise cultural and critical literacies that can: identify, locate, access and utilise research and source materials/requirements for applied projects.
