Overview
Film Project 2 is an advanced course in the Film program where students will rely on knowledge, technical skills and practice acquired in prerequisite courses within the Film Program.
This signature course is the second half of the major production project for year three and involves industry sized crews working together to produce short drama, documentary and screen media programs on Digital Video or web-based formats. Projects are completed through post-production practices. Completed projects are assessed by panel, before being publicly screened at graduate exhibitions. Students are assessed on both group and individual performance; with completed projects forming the basis of students' portfolio show reels to seek employment.
This course will explore at an advanced level the intersection between theory and practice in film related projects in further detail. The emphasis will be completing advanced film practice and outcomes. Advanced skills and knowledge in scriptwriting, production management, location production, editing, sound recording, and preproduction and visual effects will be drawn upon to complete an audio-visual production. Teamwork, communication skills and group work will also be highlighted. This is a 'capstone' course for third year students.
