There are four Learning Objectives (LO's) for this unit. These are as follows:
LO1 = Be able to produce pre-production materials for an original short film or sequence of a film
LO2 = Be able to produce production materials for use in an original short film or sequence of a film
LO3 = Be able to edit production materials to produce an original short film or sequence of a film
