Brief description

This module enables students to engage in a range of media production activities including the writing, researching, shooting and editing of short films across various genres and incorporating a number of styles. Students will engage in intensive filmmaking projects in various production and technical roles.


In addition, issues of media convergence will be addressed through the dissemination of these films via the internet as well as via the maintenance of a blog, which will allow a critical and theoretically-informed reflection on media production. Much of the time spent on the module will be self-directed learning in production groups.
