Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items

For the remainder of 2020, resulting from Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, any exams that are required for assessment in a unit will be online exams. Online exams may also use online proctoring to help assure the academic integrity of those exams. Please contact your unit convener with any questions.

While the University has made efforts to ensure that Unit Outlines reflect a unit’s learning activities and assessment items, any changes to Australian Government directives because of the COVID-19 pandemic may require changes to these during the semester to ensure the safety and well being of students and staff. These changes will not be updated in the published unit outline, but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Any changes made will continue to meet the unit’s learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

Syllabus

In this unit students will work in groups to develop and produce a short narrative film. Students are expected to research and target a local or national short film festival, with the aim of completing a film that is eligible for submission. In this unit students are encouraged to further their interest and expertise in their chosen specialization, and as such each student will be required to deliver pre-production documents relevant to their chosen specialisation role.

Learning Outcomes

After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Work independently and collaboratively to create a short film production;

2. Survey local and national short film festivals and produce the appropriate deliverables;

3. Identify crew roles and prepare pre-production documents from at least one crew specialisation; and
