Description

This course provides an introduction to film making. It aims to demystify the key concepts, technologies and methodologies used by practitioners in the field and to introduce students to the range of roles, skills and tasks required during preproduction and production. The course begins with ‘the big idea’ (where do we start and what is involved in getting an idea to the screen?) and ends with ‘the big day’ (the premiere). Along the way, the course explores the key steps in preproduction, production, postproduction and distribution, including the different roles involved (e.g. producer, director, art director, editor, grip, gaffer, runners), and the ethics and etiquette of being on a film set. Students receive hands on experience of the processes and technologies involved in the film industry and intersecting digital screen sectors.
