Description of module content:

Film Production 2 is the second of two screen-focused modules and builds directly on the skills developed in Film Production 1. The module offers students a range of advanced opportunities to engage with screen performance and film-making through both independent and collaborative projects. Students will further develop skills in short film creation, screenplay development, and the production of screen work intended for web and digital exhibition.Working either individually or in groups, students will create a filmed artefact in a chosen genre, which may include a short dramatic film, extended scene, sketch work, or a mini web-series. In addition, students will be cast in two filmed projects: a scene produced and shot by peers, and a longer film project of approximately five to ten minutes, developed in collaboration with MFA Film Directing students or other screen collaborators.Alongside practical production and performance work, the module requires students to reflect critically on their creative process, evaluating their development as actors within screen contexts and analysing how engagement with film-making has informed and expanded their performance practice.
