You will undertake research into specified fiction film genres and apply this research to short film exercises, including screenwriting and short practical film projects.
You will make creative and critical choices of how to make these exercises adhere to specific definitions of genre, while engaging with narrative structure and other modes of filmic expression.
Working collaboratively, you will build on your understanding of the importance of recognised film roles and you will build on your professional and film production skills.
Through the development and creation of a film soundtrack, you will develop skills in the creative manipulation, editing and mixing of sound.

LO1: Identify the basic rules of script structure, character generation and dialogue composition within a short screenplay;
