NZ Diploma in Screen Production
The New Zealand screen industry is looking for people who have a core working knowledge of each of the main areas in the industry. This course offers each student the hands on experience to gain that knowledge. From day one the students are operating the camera gear, working on each other’s productions and developing a well rounded professional work ethic essential for a successful career in screen.
During the diploma each student will research, write, edit and direct a commercial, a short film and a mini documentary all which will make up their individual E-portfolio.
The one year diploma gives the students a solid grounding which leads into a second year of screen production offered at EIT as part of the Bachelor of Creative Practice.
The programme has been designed to give students as much “hands on” experience with camera, sound and editing equipment as practical. We primarily use state of the art digital cameras for recording images then edit those images on non-linear digital editing systems, as used in the professional industry.
The staff maintain regular contact with the local and national screen industry as well as the broader Hawke’s Bay community and wherever possible invite guest lecturers from the screen industry to speak with the students. The Screen staff value their partnership with students and aim to provide a quality practical education in a supportive environment encouraging personal and professional development.
