Programme Learning Outcomes
This course expands the idea of producing by including aspects of production management and film business, making it suitable for environments where industry structures are minimal or non-existent.
Producing is a complex undertaking that demands skills set from multiple fields. It involves creative, organisational and business activities that require the producer to be knowledgeable in the practical production and management of film making. This course brings together relevant aspects of these fields in an interactive and hands-on approach, where students with no prior background in any of these fields are guided through producing from concept to screen.
The objective is to prepare participants to be able to undertake producing activities so that by the end of this beginners level, they would be able to:
- Pitch and develop scripts or treatments
- Mark, breakdown and schedule scripts
- Hire cast and crew
- Manage logistics and crew
- Prepare and structure a film budget
