Introduction
Considering a career in film and television? Train to be a screen professional and learn the creative, business and technical skills of development, pre-production, production and post production. This program is hands-on and enables students to conceptualise and produce their own film projects, as well as providing rigorous training to obtain work as a motion picture technician.
The Bachelor of Performing and Screen Arts (Screen Arts), is an in-depth program of study where you will engage in a combination of creative, academic and practice-based courses designed to equip you with skills and qualities that will enable you to work in Aotearoa’s screen sector.
It is the only undergraduate degree in NZ that offers a full ‘script-to-screen' experience
We work in an environment that is framed in Mātauranga Māori and the in the values embedded in our Te Noho Kotahitanga partnership. The whanaungatanga we embrace with other disciplines is woven throughout the school via shared noho marae and other whanau events. Partnering with Māori practitioners (Writers, Directors, etc ) strengthens this foundation for staff and students in our mahi. We are very fortunate to have the beautiful Te Noho Kotahitanga Marae and Maia centre onsite at Unitec, to provide us valued support in our practice.
In Year One, you will learn about the filmmaking process and industry as a whole, the relationship between specialist skills, creative and critical thinking, and storytelling. From Year Two, you will start to specialise, gaining knowledge in a particular area of the industry.
