This module aims to provide students with advanced skills in film production in their third year.
The primary focus of the module is the art of filmmaking, exploring theoretical
approaches in practice. Students will creatively investigate narrative,
cinematography, music, sound, art design and lighting. On the module
students work in small groups and will devise and realise two short films.
The module is an alternative to the Independent Practical Film Project and is
aimed at students who prefer to work in a collaborative manner. Similar to
the IPFP, the module emphasises the synergy between theory and practice,
devising work through a framework of academic research. Students will be
expected to draw on scholarly research to inform their work.
Aims, objectives, and outcomes
On successful completion of the course, students should have:
* critically engaged with key concepts in practice
* acquired advanced practical skills necessary for a high definition short
fiction film
* successfully devised and produced two short films through a
framework of academic film theory
* applied rigorous fiction film industry practices to their work, including
scheduling and budgeting
* effectively time managed their productions
* applied skills in negotiating / working effectively with others in
achieving a common goal
* acquired the knowledge to effectively 'sell' their film to festivals
and/or galleries
