Description

Future Screen studies recent and historical screen works including feature films & documentaries, animations and video art that encompass a variety of speculative practices in narrative media, deploying reflexive screen techniques and special visual and other effects to create a cohesive work. With an emphasis on genres such as science fiction, fantasy and imaginative documentary, students will view and discuss these works with reference to a set of readings that will support the creation of a research diary relating to individual areas of studio practice. This diary will then form the basis for a variety of creative responses that can include the creation of a treatment, outline for a studio project, the completion of a related studio project, and/or a comprehensive research essay .
