[ecrea] Call for Chapters - 'A Companion to Screen Production'

*/A Companion to Screen Production/*
Edited by Craig Batty (RMIT), Marsha Berry (RMIT), Kath Dooley (Curtin), 
Bettina Frankham (UTS) and Susan Kerrigan (Newcastle)

The ASPERA research sub-committee invites expressions of interest for 
chapters for its planned edited collection, /A Companion to Screen 
Production/ (for the Wiley-Blackwell series). With a focus on creative 
practice research and connections between the academy and industry, the 
book aims to be an important addition to the student and scholarly 
market, guiding its readers through the various processes, practices and 
philosophies that underpin the production of a screen work.

The planned structure of the book, including core questions and areas of 
study, is as follows:

*Part 1*

*Conceptualizing the screen work: ideas, intentions, contexts*

This section explores what it means to be a screen practitioner, and how 
ideas, intentions and contexts shape how a screen work is conceptualized 
from the outset – and then continually re-conceptualized throughout the 
life of its production. It will ask questions and provide examples of 
how screen practitioners have thought about their work pre-development.

*Part 2*

*Developing the screen work: collaboration, imagination, distillation*

This section uses the lens of development to probe the screen work, 
highlighting the usual importance of spending time ‘in development’ in 
order to get the most out of a story idea. It will cover aspects such as 
research, script development and practices of collaboration, asking what 
‘good’ development looks like and what the benefits are of doing it.

*Part 3*

*Realizing the screen work: practice, process, pragmatism*

In this section, the practices, processes and pragmatic decisions of 
screen producers underpin an exploration of what it means to make for 
the screen. The chapters in this section delve into screen production at 
its very literal. Through a series of case studies drawn from 
practitioners working across a range of forms and genres, this section 
considers the aesthetics, creative practices, possibilities and 
limitations, enablers and disablers, rules and logistical boundaries of 
a screen work.

*Part 4*

*Exhibiting the screen work: places, spaces, ecologies*

This section discusses what happens to a screen work once it is made, 
and how the ecologies of exhibition determine the places, spaces and 
people that become involved in this stage of screen production. It 
covers traditional and emerging areas of screen exhibition, from film 
festivals and cinemas, to online devices and digital participation.

With a multi-voiced and international focus, */co-written chapters are 
strongly encouraged/* – especially where they bring together 
practitioners and researchers from different cultures and geographical 
contexts. Potential contributors are also strongly encouraged to 
consider chapters that weave together critical ideas with creative 
practices, and/or robust pedagogical approaches to screen production.

Please e-mail a 250-word chapter outline plus 100-word biography(ies) 
_to the section editors listed below_, by end of day (Australia time) 
*Monday 1^st August 2016*.
