Content

Stream A

This stream will examine the role of the producer in realising film and video projects, tracking the process from idea development through scripting, preproduction, production, postproduction and distribution. The stream will identify industry practices and standards in the areas of creative decision making, funding, management, legal issues, insurance and occupational health and safety that impact on production planning and execution. Students will develop their own creative ideas for a short film into a viable production plan. They will present a written proposal including a treatment or script, industry standard budget, production schedule and plan, development notes and supporting material.

This stream will involve students working in small groups to develop a creative project/event. Projects may include, for example, a showcase festival event, a virtual/real exhibition, and a creative industry event launch.

The workplace-based project will incorporate teams in creative concept development for a client, marketing and promotion, managing the event/production and evaluating/measuring the effectiveness of the outcome.
