The Business of Film Final Project synthesises the skills and experience derived from modules across the course and relevant to the student's prospective career pathway/sequels. Students will be supervised by a faculty member and a film industry professional partner, via our relationship with the BFI, to carry out business oriented research agreed between the student and the module leader/s and/or industry professional. Projects might include the development of case studies, business plans for films or festivals, analyses of employment or financing or policy development addressing skills shortages or diversity issues in the sector. Students will be expected to address current film business issues and concerns and incorporate relevant film business and relevant creative industry themes into their project to inform pragmatic and creative solutions or resolve issues. 40 credits
The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, industry guest speakers, practice-led case studies and placements. It emphasises group work, with students participating in small and large-scale projects, while gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of the film business.
Additionally, students will be able to participate in employment and group-based simulations and industry events designed to emphasise professional development. To complement these methods, in-class exercises have been developed to encourage students to work together to assess how different approaches can inform and improve outcomes.
We aim to offer a wide range of option modules. However, availability may be affected by timetabling, staff availability, or student demand, so preferred choices cannot always be guaranteed.
