SCME9302 Advanced Research and Development 1

In this topic students will research and develop the creative and technical requirements for the SCME9305A/B Major Production Project. This will include researching and developing a storyline, genre and materials. Students will also develop a project plan and set milestones for the production pipeline.

As part of the project plan students will also have the opportunity to extend their knowledge of the processes associated with securing funding for projects, and promotion and distribution.

This topic aims to:

• Provide students with high-level collaborative skills to successfully develop conceptual ideas for a project pitch as part of the production pipeline
• Extend students' creative and/or technical skills in the development of complex storylines, and research the appropriate resources to execute them
• Extend students' knowledge of funding and distribution pathways for creative artists
