So far we have looked at the filmmaking tools and at film production as a creative process. In Short Film Production students explore mise en scene and discover that everything matters. But before they can do that they must come to grips with acting as a creative collaboration.
In this unit students work in small groups to produce short live action drama productions.

Learning outcomes

After successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
1. Produce the documentation for pre production of a short film;
2. Analyse the director actor relationship;
3. Critically assess and evaluate different forms, styles and genres of drama production; and
4. Work collaboratively in small creative teams, demonstrating advanced problem solving necessary to produce short drama productions.

Skills development

This unit explores scripted drama film production... as such the roles become more complex, the collaborations  more critical and the group work just more. So as well as considering the usual graduate attributes adressing  technical skills, we should underline those attributes that focus on communication, ambiguity and ethics.
