Professional Strand – Media Arts and Production – 300 level
Subject coordinator: Megan Heyward

The subject introduces the role and strategies of the producer in the making and distribution of short films and videos and cross-media works. It uses the UTS and Australian media production context to example material. However, students are encouraged to apply knowledge to the production context and country of their choice in their assignments. Production exercises and assignments primarily focus on short, low budget projects where students learn to schedule and manage a project. Elements for clearance of copyright, budgeting principles and postproduction paths are also explored, as well as the distribution context for low budget work and the producer's role in the development, pitching and marketing of a project. The subject utilises UTS Online for some aspects of coursework and assignments. The subject may not be a suitable level for postgraduates who are already experienced in production management and the producing aspects of production.
