Kieran Harris Film Maker
“SAE is a breeding place for creativity and it’s the
people and connections I made whilst studying
there that has led me to where I am today. I’ve
been working on a surfing documentary, filming a
television commercial in New Zealand and starting
my own business, Outer Path Films, which I believe
thrives on adventure and immersive storytelling.
I’m also working on a music video clip for a Sydney
based electronic group and initial stages of a pilot
for a comedic web series.” 9

BACHELOR OF FILM
THE SAE BACHELOR OF FILM IS A HANDS-ON
FILMMAKING COURSE COVERING TACTILE HARD
SKILL ELEMENTS OF FILMMAKING IN THE MODERN ERA.
New forms of film distribution have changed the film-viewing
environment, but the foundation skills needed to create films are
still core to the future of film production.
Soft skills are invaluable attributes for students and are taught
through the organising of film productions at the student level.
Communication, scheduling and organisational skills are the
core of the Studio Units delivered in Stage II alongside the
foundational skills learnt. Creation of high-quality short films
with high production values lead students through this
combined technical and people-oriented delivery giving
them the springboard to all areas of filmmaking.
You will undertake specialised units designed for students to
participate in real-world projects under the guidance of expert
SAE staff. With this unique teaching style, you will demonstrate
your skills and technical knowledge in a collaborative and
creative studio-based learning environment.
Each degree program is broken up into discrete stages
designed to promote different skills:
STAGE i – FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
You will undertake a number of foundational units that will give
you the essential technical skills and knowledge, relevant to your
discipline area, to collaborate with other creative media students
and professionals in later stages of the program.
• Introduction to cinematography and film production
• Post-production principles and techniques
• Storytelling for contemporary media
• Critical thinking for creative media
• Screen design
• Film studies
• Overview of industry
• Project management and professional etiquette
• Contemporary industry overview.
Stage II – Interdisciplinary Projects,
Media and Cultural Studies
In Stage II, you will participate in simulated project groups, working
towards large-scale deliverables each trimester. We will get you
to apply your Stage I skills in a deeper context and help you work
within the contemporary creative media workforce.

In Stage II, you will also learn how your work contributes to and
interacts with broader culture and media practice. This knowledge
will enable you to work with a variety of other disciplines and
artists to expand your potential on the global stage.
You will complete a number of real-world projects with students
not only in your own discipline, but in all other SAE disciplines.
In Stage II, the types of projects and project roles you choose
to undertake will determine what area of specialisation you
fall within. You will be given the opportunity to work as project
specialists within the following areas.
Stage II has studio modules with projects based on the
following areas:
Both film specialisations have a strong common set of subjects
covering the broad base the film industry requires. The Production
specialisation focusses on targeting producing and directing
skills specifically to this stream, strengthening the ‘big picture’
skillset of graduates.
PRODUCTION1
POST PRODUCTION2
The Post Production specialisation adds more specific
compositing and software curriculum elements to the common
core subjects of this degree. Visual effects are used in many
more films than most people realise and these techniques are
studied in this specialisation using industry-standard software.
Some of these high-level softwares were traditionally very
expensive and required major hardware installations in
order to use. These are now much easier for students to
access, increasing creative possibilities within the realm
of all future filmmakers.
16
Stage III – Interdisciplinary Projects and WORK PLACEMENT
Stage III is the final part of your studies. Here you will undertake an interdisciplinary
project of your choice – the final and most ambitious portfolio project of the course.
In this stage, you will also undertake an elective unit and gain valuable workplace
experience with our innovative industry internship program.
Our graduates finish with skillsets covering not only the foundational areas of traditional
filmmaking, but wider concepts of the future of film distribution and viewing standards.
Not only do our graduates finish with a working showreel presenting their skills, but also
their individual creative directions. Students also graduate with an understanding of how
to navigate the future of film and media as it adapts and evolves with the changing times.
