Screen Arts
This major will appeal to well-organised, committed, creative people with a passion for capturing their ideas on screen and extending their understanding of film, television and digital screen arts.
It will suit people who enjoy working in a team, and who aren’t afraid of a challenge.
Students of this widely-recognised course work intensely with professional, industry-standard film, digital and video equipment including Curtin’s oncampus TV studio, which recently underwent a $1 million upgrade.
You will take a common fi rst year that introduces you to the history, techniques and equipment of screen production, before you select from one of three pathways: Screen Production (feature films, documentaries, television and corporate), Screenwriting and Screen Studies. Curtin graduates have won the Young Filmmaker of the Year Award at the WA Screen Awards in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009. Many have gone to become successful in the local, national and international industries.
