DESCRIPTION
This module offers a detailed and practical survey of the contemporary British film industry, providing students with an understanding of its organisational and funding structure from the 1980s to contemporary times. It will invite outside speakers in various industry roles to provide insights into the professional capabilities required and a snapshot of the current state of the film industry and related sectors. In addition the module offers a summary of the main trends in British Cinema since 2000 in terms of thematics and aesthetics. Students will be required to develop a film idea into a budgeted production package and pitch the idea to a nominal UK funding panel. Consequently, the module provides a chance for students to combine practical and academic knowledge to gain skills and capabilities useable in real world film and media production.
