This module is designed to give you a broad overview of what is involved in professional film production. It will take you through the stages of project development, including areas such as the initial inception of an idea, development of treatments and scripts, funding, health and safety, contracts, copyright, production procedures and distribution. While there is no hands-on practical film making in this module, you will learn how to plan and schedule film shoots and you are encouraged to use your existing film projects as the subject of the coursework.

On completion of the module the student will be able to:
LO1: Distinguish between the different purposes and responsibilities of recognised industrial roles;
LO2: Clarify the purpose of a synopsis and treatment in relation to a short project;
LO3: prepare a professional dossier that includes appropriate documents in support of a short film shoot;
LO4: perform professionally by demonstrating an ability to study independently, to collaborate effectively and to contribute to group work.
