Principles of Screen Production for Film
Description
This course provides an introduction to film making. It aims to demystify the key concepts, technologies and methodologies used by practitioners in the field and to introduce students to the range of roles, skills and tasks required during preproduction and production. The course begins with ‘the big idea’ (where do we start and what is involved in getting an idea to the screen?) and ends with ‘the big day’ (the premiere). Along the way, the course explores the key steps in preproduction, production, postproduction and distribution, including the different roles involved (e.g. producer, director, art director, editor, grip, gaffer, runners), and the ethics and etiquette of being on a film set. Students receive hands on experience of the processes and technologies involved in the film industry and intersecting digital screen sectors.

Editing and postproduction
Description
Editing is a conceptual and creative process as much as it is a technical skill. What happens when two film images are brought together on the editing bench? How are they cut to advance the story, to establish or undermine point of view, to bring different spatial and temporal locations into relation or opposition, to enhance or frustrate the spectators’ expectations? This course teaches conceptual and practical aspects of editing. Students acquire hands-on experience of the techniques and aesthetics of film editing and related post-production processes. Additional emphasis is placed on workflow, file management and the latest software tools. Students will study scenes and sequences from exemplary models (Hitchcock, Renoir, Buñuel, etc) and complete a series of exercises and workshops that culminate in the production of their own short project using extant footage.
