What you'll learn

Foundations of content creation

First up you’ll be introduced to all the processes and principles for creating, planning and producing screen content.

Developing creative content

Next you’ll learn to develop the bones of a great piece of content including the set-up of the story. Learn basic scriptwriting and storytelling techniques, storyboarding and shot listing, as well as planning and managing locations used within your piece of content. You’ll also learn the basics of art direction and how to direct factual and dramatic content.

Producing creative content

Then you’ll learn the ins and outs of how to produce content:

  • Camera work: Learn creative and technical skills in camera work including how to use different types of camera, specific camera angles and multi cam shooting

  • Lighting: How to professionally light a set

  • Audio:  How to record audio and audio mixing using Adobe Audition

  • Editing: How to edit your shots using Adobe Premiere, add graphics and some visual effects skills using After Effects, and sweeten your sound with Adobe Audition

  • Scripting & Directing: You’ll script and direct several pieces of content including a television commercial, a music video, and a short form drama.

Creating your own screen content project

Everything you have learned will culminate in an end of year project where you’ll produce a 5-8 minute piece of factual or dramatic content. You’ll get work on not only your own project but collaborate with others in your class to work on their projects too.
