Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Understand and articulate increasingly complex theoretical underpinnings and specific terminology of film craft specialisms.
Synthesise increasingly complex knowledge and skills of chosen specialisms and practically apply them to produce creative outcomes.
Manage individual practical projects to successful completion.
Brief description
Building from Year One, this module facilitates students to increase their knowledge of the theoretical underpinnings of distinct specialisms of film craft. In the first half of the module students receive introductory sessions on 4 key areas of film craft. With their enhanced knowledge of, and skills in, different specialisms of film craft students are equipped to make an informed choice about which specific components of film craft they will specialise in for the second half of the module. Therefore, the module facilitates students to take ownership of their learning journey and leanings towards a career pathway by making informed choices.
Aims
To introduce students to work that is innovative and creative in the application of craft skills;
To increase critical understanding of how theoretical and stylistic enquiry through practice leads to innovation in film form;
To identify and develop an extensive skill set for a personal vision as a filmmaker;
To apply this practical and theoretical learning to students’ own filmmaking work.
