Film Production 1 is the first of two modules designed to provide students with a range of practical opportunities to engage in film-making projects from an actor-centred perspective. Through a series of lectures and workshops, students will develop skills in self-taping for auditions, short film planning and production (including technical elements), and pre- and post-production processes.Practical assessment will include self-taped exercises and the performance of a short two-minute filmed scene, which students will help to plan and produce in collaboration with staff. This will involve responsibilities such as art direction, securing locations, and coordinating shooting days. In addition, students will begin work on three-minute film projects produced in collaboration with MFA Film students or academic staff, introducing professional collaborative screen production practices within a postgraduate context.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Conceive, critically appraise, and realise scene-based film project proposals, evidencing advanced understanding of logistical planning, creative intention, and practical feasibility.

LO2: Critically apply a range of acting skills and techniques for bringing text alive in script development contexts and in the context of creating short film performances.

LO3: Apply and critically integrate theoretical approaches to the preparation, execution, and sustainment of performance choices in recorded media.

LO4: Critically reflect on your own screen performance skills.
