FILM STUDIO I PROJECTS

First year, Trimester 3

FOCUS: Short Film Production

Students have the opportunity to develop a project from early ideation through to industry-standard screen production (script to screen). These projects introduce students to the procedures and protocols of screen production as well as further developing students' skills in cinematography, lighting, and sound.

FILM STUDIO II PROJECTS

Second year, Trimester 4

FOCUS: Documentary Film Making

Module Name: Film Studio 3 (FLM225)

In this studio module, Documentary Production, projects are reflective of real-world scenarios. They showcase compelling stories, dilemmas, real-life situations, or societal issues that require solutions. Through short documentary projects filmed during in-class activities, and a main final documentary project for exhibition, students work in project teams towards understanding different documentary modes, writing a documentary proposal and a treatment, carrying out pre-production research, budgeting, and developing their pitching skills. Throughout the trimester, students hone their skills in cinematography, lighting, sound, interview techniques, location scouting, production design, and post-production, which culminate in the end-of-trimester showcase of their final documentary project.

Before the Rainbow

Miscarriage is common, however it is not often openly spoken about. It is a deeply personal and varied experience for every woman as their situation is specific to them in terms of age, income, employment, education, relationship status, and family support. No story is the same. In Before The Rainbow we aim to give a raw, honest portrayal of real life experiences to give these women a voice and reduce the stigma surrounding this topic.

Proof of Blood

Proof of Blood follows the journey of Claudia Parsons, a fair-skinned Indigenous person, as she tries to understand her ancestors and seeks the acceptance of her culture. We explore her family's battles, look at her current connections to her culture as she establishes relationships with other young Indigenous people and an Aboriginal Elder. As the story unfolds she will not only learn more about her culture, but also come to understand her role and responsibility as a young Tasmanian Indigenous person.

One Shot Scott

With the goal of being ‘fight ready’ in 12 weeks Scott must improve his weight, fitness, knowledge, and strength to even stand a chance. As the fight draws closer Scott learns of the incredible dedication and sacrifice needed to stand toe to toe against his opponent, asking himself the whole time…what the hell was I thinking?
