The module is delivered as a mixture of workshops, seminars and tutorials with the emphasis on deep and student-centred learning. Students generate material between workshops and this work in progress is regularly circulated and subject to peer critique (by email or using webCT or Facebook). Knowledge, skills and techniques developed in Trimester 1 modules are applied creatively and flexibly to the live project.Assessment is in two parts: an initial written story treatment conforming to industry-standards (about five to ten pages) followed by a first draft script (or equivalent) plus a set of development notes detailing proposed revisions to the script, responding to tutor and peer feedback as well as the student's own critical response to their own work after a period of reflection. Together, these documents form a 'package' as might, typically, be presented to a broadcaster or prospective funding body. These documents are typically counted in pages, not words. In this module, the specific focus is on increased contact with the industry so that this module forms a 'bridge' between the educational and professional context. Students will have the opportunity to present themselves and pitch their projects to their peers, fellow Screen Academy students, ECA students and visiting professionals from the relevant screen industries.
