CUA60415 Advanced Diploma of Creative Product Development

Directors collaborate with actors and production teams to develop creative products. These products include things like theatre shows, web series, films, TV commercials, TV dramas and sitcoms, festival performances, and many others.

As a director, you need to be able to conceive a creative vision and communicate it to others. You must then manage a team of people who will help you implement your vision successfully.

In this course you will develop not only your creative skills, but a sense of your own aesthetic, an ability to critique your work and the work of others, as well as acquire some important business skills for working in the industry. You will explore both theatre and film directing throughout this course.

Beginning with shorter scenes and projects at first, you’ll work towards directing a larger project as your major work.

All our teachers are industry professionals who’ll guide you through.
