Master of Screen Studies
Provides students with industry-level skills, a show-reel of production work and a strong analytical and theoretical foundation relating to digital screen production.
Students are able to pursue a major area of specialization from the following fields: producing, directing, screenwriting, cinematography, sound, and editing. Students may also select secondary areas of specialization. The course offers expert teaching by leading industry practitioners as tutors, mentors, and guests.
The course includes the professional production of six short dramas and documentaries, client-based projects and a web-series. The course also offers an introduction to VR and feature film production, and a pathway to further post-graduate research.
A unique feature of the program is the relationship with the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA). Students in the WAAPA acting department feature in Screen Academy productions, and the WAAPA costume, design, sound and music composition departments contribute to the productions.
