1.Brief description and aims of module

In this module students will turn their projects into a feature length productions, building on the insights they have learnt over the course. The projects will normally need to be completed to an ‘offline’ standard. It is expected that most productions will involve a maximum 18 days for principal photography. The projects will then go into a period of editing of 10/12 weeks to arrive at a version of the film that is suitable for screening to distributors and agencies to seek further completion funding.

2. Teaching and learning activities

The total tutorial contact time of 10 hours is indicative, and more or fewer hours may be appropriate. Progress of projects will be monitored at key stages (prep, shoot, edit) by the course director, their personal tutor and visiting industry professionals (where possible).
