57119 Media Arts and Production Project
24cpGraduate subject – Media Arts and Production – 500 level
Subject coordinator: Sarah Gibson
Students are provided with supervision to undertake an original short piece of production work informed by theoretical study, based on independent research and showing evidence of their professional skills and creative expertise. The project can be in any of the following media: radio, sound, film, music, new media or web-based work, video, performances, CD-ROM and telecommunications projects.
The production project is required to demonstrate work of a high standard with the possibility of being publicly exhibited. It must show evidence that students have engaged in a lively dialogue between theoretical ideas and production practices. The project work is to be initiated in the context of the Master of Media Arts and Production so although it may be related back to institutions and workplaces, it cannot be determined by schedules, deadlines and influences of a work-based project only. The proposed project must be feasible to be produced within the resources available both through UTS and those provided by the filmmaker themselves from outside UTS. It must be of a length that can be reasonably completed within the time frame. Feasibility is determined by the supervisor.

The project can be in any of the following media: radio, sound, film, music, multimedia events, video, interactive media, performances, CDs and telecommunication projects. The proposed project must be feasible to be produced within the resources available both through UTS and those provided by the filmmaker themselves from outside UTS.

The project work is to be initiated in the context of the Master of Arts in Media Production. While it may be related back to institutions and workplaces, the project cannot be determined by the schedules, deadlines and influences of a work-based project only.
In this semester students are expected to take their project through all stages of production: research and script revisions to shooting script and storyboard and from preproduction to shooting and postproduction within a schedule negotiated with their supervisor.
