Creative Arts (Film and Screen), Bachelor

Our screens are changing. They range in all shapes and sizes from the latest large format cinema screens, immersive headsets, down to the screen on our phones that travel with us, and everything in between. Regardless of the size, one thing that drives us is the power of the storytelling that we create and view on these screens. These stories can shock us. Make us think. Make us laugh. Take us out of this world and send us on a fantasy journey. And the people who produce these moving pictures have never had more creative freedom. This film course for the digital age provides opportunities to develop your skills in traditional practices including producing, writing, editing, sound, cinematography and directing, and also new emerging practices in virtual production and extended reality. You will learn skills used in digital content production, gain business and leadership skills, and knowledge of how the entertainment industry works. Regardless of your chosen specialisation, this broad base of skills will make you attractive to employers, or set you up to better take control of your freelance career. The film and screen major will allow you to explore a wide range of career options within the film and screen industries before specialising in an area of your choice. If your passion is cinematography, editing, sound, writing, producing or directing, you will develop technical skills by producing high-quality, creative content. If you are interested in writing, developing or producing screen content, you will find your niche as a storyteller and creative entrepreneur, learning how to generate ideas and develop them into finished productions, source funding, and identify opportunities for collaboration and distribution. This course gives you the opportunity to work across all genres and areas of production, to build agility for you to respond to changing work conditions to build a sustainable career in the screen industry. Tailor your film and screen degree for your future with a second major or a combination of other creative field majors, minors and and/or extensions and electives that allow you to further specialise in production design, sound design, post production and visual effects, or script development.
