Through seminars, supervisions and individual study, you will critically assess and fine-tune youracademic research and writing skills. Screenings, guest speakers and lectures will continue to explore key themes in film criticism and in international cinema. These will, where possible, be geared to the individual subjects being investigated in your theses. You will also read, view and discuss the work of the thinkers and film-makers that are key to your thesis in greater depth. You will synthesise the insights you gain through this research in the completion of yourwritten work. Supervisions will take place both for the short and feature project, as a whole in teams, and for individual specialists in their chosen disciplines. This will support you collaboratively and autonomously as you prepare your feature project packages and post produce your short film. Supervisions will focus on financial packaging, script editing, pre-visualisation, workflows, talent attachment, cutting room visits, colour grading and sound post to enable you to exercise appropriate judgement in the execution of your work to a professional standard.
