MFC6403 - Advanced Short Film

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

In this module students have an opportunity to employ the knowledge and technical skills obtained so far through previous modules and to produce substantial artefacts for their career portfolio.

This module builds on previous experience and the practice of single camera film production, including: briefs, treatments, scripts and storyboards; logistics of location recording; camera crew roles; single camera techniques; editing. This leads to a period of small-group production work, culminating in a presentation of completed films, followed by critical peer appraisal in preparation for final submission.
