What you'll learn
Foundations of content creation
First up you’ll be introduced to all the processes and principles for creating, planning and producing screen content.
Developing creative content
Next you’ll learn to develop the bones of a great piece of content including the set-up of the story. Learn basic scriptwriting and storytelling techniques, storyboarding and shot listing, as well as planning and managing locations used within your piece of content. You’ll also learn the basics of art direction and how to direct factual and dramatic content.
Producing creative content
Then you’ll learn the ins and outs of how to produce content:
- Camera work: Learn creative and technical skills in camera work including how to use different types of camera, specific camera angles and multi cam shooting
- Lighting: How to professionally light a set
- Audio: How to record audio and audio mixing using Adobe Audition
- Editing: How to edit your shots using Adobe Premiere, add graphics and some visual effects skills using After Effects, and sweeten your sound with Adobe Audition
- Scripting & Directing: You’ll script and direct several pieces of content including a television commercial, a music video, and a short form drama.
Creating your own screen content project
Everything you have learned will culminate in an end of year project where you’ll produce a 5-8 minute piece of factual or dramatic content. You’ll get work on not only your own project but collaborate with others in your class to work on their projects too.

"I spend every day doing something I love. I love having a vision and using tools to see that vision come to life on the screen. You have to be really quick at thinking and making calls so it definitely challenges you. I also love learning how to create content that provokes change. I will be spending a lot of time directing my documentary series 'Silent Killer', and then who knows! The organisation I founded, Voices of Hope is based around online videos and content creation on mental health."
-Jazz Thornton, Director/Author/Co-Founder of Voices of Hope
"The film industry is an amazing place to work. I still don't feel like I have a real job. I probably never will. No two jobs are the same and no two days are the same. You're always somewhere different working with new costumes, sets, designers, and crew. I also love travelling so getting to travel around New Zealand and overseas for work is amazing."
-Sarah Goodhue, Costume Assistant for Ghost in the Shell, The Hobbit, Da 5 Bloods.
