It is Important to note that the course Plan & Manage Film & Media Post Production CUFPPM602A is Co delivered with Realise Productions CUETEM08B for Semster 2. Adavance Diploma of Screen & Media (Interactive plan )
C6087 Advanced Diploma of Screen and Media (Screen Plan)
Plan and manage film and media post-production involves the learners supervising the processes of editing and other elements of post production of a screen production. Major duties include the supervision of editing personnel and the acquisition of post production resources.
Students are required to clarify post-production briefs, develop an operational plan, implement post-production processes and wrap post-production activities. To achieve these tasks for Plan and manage film and media post-production the student must be developing paperwork prior to production and collaborating in the post production process after production is complete to meet the productions requirements and deadlines.
The following schedule for this competency requires small group consultations in pre production and post and will therefore vary depending on when the student is scheduled to shoot their production.
| Project | Description | Elements | Due |
| Clarify post- production briefs and make creative editing decisions |
Participate in meetings which provide ongoing strategic advice to production team to improve efficiency of post-production activities and analyse specific technical or creative requirements for post-production. Develop documentation for anticipated stages in post-production process and confirm with relevant production personnel. |
1 | One week prior to Production commences |
| Develop and implement an operational plan. |
Draw up specific schedules to ensure post-production activity meets expected deadlines. Ensure documentation is accessible to all involved with post-production activities as required. Monitor and manage post-production activities on a proactive basis and according to agreed operational plan. |
2, 3 | One week prior to Production commences |
| DIRECTOR-EDITOR COLLABORATION I | Raw footage analysis, creative post decision making and problem solving between Director and Editor. | 4 | One week after Production Is complete |

Overview of Assessment
Semester 2
Assessment is on-going throughout the course. Assessment will incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of knowledge and skills and will include:
- Practical tasks
- Direct observation including exploration of and experimentation with techniques
- Written and/or oral questioning and discussion to assess knowledge and understanding
- Completion of an Project Design Document, and a completed IDM Research Project
- Direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence
Assessment tasks in this course are either formative or summative. Formative tasks provide the basis for ongoing feedback and can be considered essential building blocks for the more substantial summative assessment tasks. Summative assessment tasks in this unit are graded.
To demonstrate competency in this course you need to complete each one of the following pieces of assessment to a satisfactory standard.
Please Note this course is co-delivered and assessed with Realise Productions CUETEM08B which is a year long course.
The Research Project Pre-production requirements are
Linear projects
The piece will be based a theme or concept of your own choice and will be a minimum of 1 minute and a maximum of 2 minutes duration including opening titles and end credits. The piece may have a narrative or be an abstract piece. It will include one or more techniques in 2d animation, 3d animation, and motion graphics. A combination of these techniques is encouraged and welcomed. The production will also include original music and sound design.
Interactive
The size of the interactive project will depend on the kind of project it is (for example: game, interactive story, toy) and the scale of the project will be determined by you and the interactive teacher.
(the completed Major Research Project is Due semester 2 week 14).
Student will prepare the pre-production requirements for their Research Project.
