Content
This is the second of two capstone specialist production units for Film, Television and Animation. It is an opportunity for students to specialise in one of the production roles that most interest them such as producing/production management, directing, production design/art direction, animation, cinematography, sound design and editing/post-production, or television studio, independent video, experimental or documentary production.
Students are encouraged to practice those developed skills they aim to practice in the industry on completion of their Degree. Projects made in this unit will usually be limited to productions developed and selected during the last trimester in which the unit Major Screen Project A was offered. These projects are tightly scheduled through pre-production, production and post-production to completion. Pre-production will be completed in the first weeks of this unit.
