Modules

The producer is often the first and last person on a project, carrying it through from conceptualisation to distribution. By developing your own fictional/documentary idea, you will learn what it takes to transform an initial concept into a product that is ?fundable?, ?makable? and ?watchable?. This is achieved by looking at how to generate ideas, develop treatments and work productively with other creative departments (especially writers and directors). You will be introduced to emerging production methods to develop projects that can make a positive impact on our world. In this way, the unit equips you with the entrepreneurial competencies to spearhead meaningful projects in a highly competitive marketplace.
