Drawing on a pool of scripts written for the COM104 Screenwriting for Film and TV module where deemed appropriate and drawing on tutorial guidance to make such a selection, each production group will adapt their chosen script for screen. Through a series of practical hands-on workshops, production tutorials and seminars, each group will develop a shooting script and shooting schedule prior to undertaking filming and post production. The module will encourage the development of production specialisms and an understanding of the various roles involved in single camera, location based scripted drama production, including production management, camera, lighting, location sound recording, editing and post-production.
