You will adapt a literary text into a screenplay and short fiction film. Film projects will be concerned with the clarity of fictive idea and narrative construction as well as develop a consistent and dynamic stylistic interpretation. You will learn about the importance of tempo and rhythm by utilising movement within the frame and of the camera, and movement from shot to shot. Through practical group exercises you will build on your collaboration skills and be introduced to the importance of recognised film roles, as well as work professionally, in particular when working with actors.

On completion of the module the student will be able to:
LO1: Develop an insight into the relationship between character, story and production design elements within a script;
LO2: Explore the interpretation of a dramatic scene and identify a range of appropriate production techniques;
LO3: Examine the roles, responsibilities and contributions to group project work and find solutions to any formal, intellectual and technical problems that have arisen through constructing moving image narratives;
LO4: Review and discuss each stage of your filmmaking, both during and after the process.
