Screen project: From film theory to media production

This practice-based unit provides you with an opportunity to test and explore theoretical and critical concepts introduced in other Film and Screen Studies units by taking part in the production of a short video group project. The unit is devoted to the practical application of the following key areas in screen media: editing, point of view, sound and image relationships, graphics and text. You build upon ideas and skills developed in the unit ATS2845 Screenwriting for media production to produce a high-quality, short video project. Time is devoted to looking at a range of videos/short films in order to think through a production's rationale and theoretical relevance. You are expected to work in small groups and to attain a competence in most but not all of the following aspects of video production: scriptwriting, production planning, filming using digital video cameras and lights, and editing and sound-mixing using computer-based digital video-editing software.
