Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
Through a series of practical workshop sessions, formative feedback and guidance, students will work collaboratively in small groups with the Level 4 design programme students in developing a design idea into a cohesive, communicative final design, employing performance elements such as lighting, sound, video, construction, and special effects as necessary.
Students will apply event planning, budgeting, and scheduling techniques throughout the project, and they will learn to relate design concepts to a physical space and consider the effect and viewpoints of an audience.
Students will learn and experience scenic construction processes, including working from scale models and technical drawings; choice and use of tools and materials; finishing techniques incorporating an introduction to scene painting and applied finishes; set get-in and assembly; working as a group; and safe working practices in the scenic workshop. The module is structured to deliver the knowledge, understanding, interpersonal and technical skills necessary to support work on productions.
