MA Producing

Throughout this module, you will develop your understanding of the nuts and bolts of production and your understanding of content, industry and audiences, leading up to pitching a feature film or television project to an industry panel.

You will also develop your voice by collaborating with other students to make a short video using a camera phone, based on something that you want to say.

You will gain insight into the commissioning and financing of film and television projects including the different types of money available, and the increasing convergence between film and television investment in the era of streamers.

You will develop authentic and detailed career paperwork and supporting materials including a CV and personal profile. As part of the module you will be offered Elective Upskilling sessions – opportunities to develop screen industry skills outside of your chosen discipline or as part of your multi-skilling profile.

This module aims to synthesise the knowledge and skills gained from previous modules by bringing students from across disciplines together to work collaboratively in teams to create and deliver screen content for a range of external clients. Unlike the collaborations of the first module, here producing students lead all teams, using industry-standard production models to gain first-hand understanding of how the creative producer operates on a production.

As part of your deepening awareness of producing and industry, this module synthesises the knowledge and skills already gained towards understanding how businesses are created and developed within the creative media sector.

Building on the work of previous and concurrent modules, you will gain a deeper insight into current theories, principles, and discussions relating to issues of diversity, sustainability, and ethics within the screen industries.

Your project is an opportunity to deliver work that is distinctive, industry-aware, based in research and reflects awareness of a diverse and inclusive world. You will also present your career plan, including evidence of new skills to be assessed by industry employers and refine your career plan in preparation for entering or re-entering the screen industries on graduation.
