To facilitate learning at advanced level on the principles and practices of a short moving image production.
To individually allow students to demonstrate their creative, analytical and critical learning and personal development in the field of moving image production.
1. Understand and demonstrate coherent and detailed subject knowledge and professional competencies some of which will be informed by recent research/scholarship in film, photography and media industries.
2. Demonstrate a conceptual understanding which contributes to the development and execution of a focused creative project.
3. Describe and self-reflect on particular aspects of your own creative practice including recent research and/or scholarship within the disciplines of film and/or photography and/or media.
4. Conform to professional boundaries and norms where applicable including the production of work reflecting professional standards.
5. Apply their knowledge and understanding in order to initiate and carry out an extended piece of creative motion-based work or project.
Students on this course undertake self-directed study under academic supervision as individuals in the production of a short moving image project intended for public viewing. Following an introductory lecture, teaching will take the form of regular supervision meetings to support pre-production, production and post-production including work-in-progress meetings leading up to the submission of a completed production in the chosen form. A substantial piece of reflective, analytical writing will be produced in relation to the production, along with a critical evaluation of the completed project.
