In this module, you will explore the initiation and development of a group-based project in single-camera film or multicamera television. You will form part of a team, while researching and working on your own specifically assigned role, across the pre-production phases of a screen-story pitched and voted on by your cohort of students. The roles available will cover the key creative and logistical areas required for the delivery of a succesful short film or short TV series. You will explore the nature of your role in its professional,contexts - creative and technical - and apply that knowledge to the specific demands of the project to which you are assigned under the guidance of executive producers, and role-specific mentors.
