Overview

Program Description The Director is central to the creative process in media production. This Master’s is designed to build and develop knowledge in that field, enabling graduates to step up to the challenge of delivering award-winning productions. It’s a hands-on course which provides many opportunities for practical production across different platforms and genres in both factual and fictional film-making. It will enhance storytelling skills and technical understanding of film, television and transmedia production. Students will develop advanced skills as a director in line with both current industry practice and the traditions of independent filmmaking. The Faculty of Media & Communication encourages dynamic collaborations between students across courses. Working with the producing, scriptwriting, cinematography, sound and editing students, students in this program will create a showcase of their skills as a visual, creative storyteller. Many of these collaborations have continued beyond the course as students set up their own production companies. This comprehensive course will equip graduates with the skills to understand and manage the entire production process, from effective planning and pre-visualisation, through effective and efficient work on location, to overseeing creative post-production work. Under the guidance of experienced media professionals, students will develop their own directorial craft and style, and will gain a sound theoretical grounding in the social, cultural and intellectual context for media production work. Students will also acquire other related skills which will increase their employability. The final production project will allow graduates to use the technical and directorial skills they have developed to mastermind their own work in collaboration with other students within the Faculty of Media & Communication. As an alternative, students can choose a research-based option to undertake a detailed study of an aspect of directing. As a student on this course you'll have the chance to take advantage of opportunities with RedBalloon, an award winning professional production unit based in the Faculty of Media and Communication.
