Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module firmly embeds theory with practice in order that you understand the context and development of documentary films and key academic theories. This rich understanding of theory will complement practice, and your practice will inform your understanding of theory. Lectures and documentary film screenings will enable you to write an essay to demonstrate your understanding of documentary concepts (LOs 1 and 2). The collaborative production of a short film (LOs 3, 4, 5 and 6) will be supported by camera, editing, research, interviewing and pitching workshops from practitioners. Workshops and tutorials will support the finding, development and execution of your ideas. A critique of the completed films will enable your work to be screened and evaluated by tutors and peers, and will allow you to reflect on your contribution and that of others in the collaborative production. The LTA approach is to ensure progression from broadcast work carried out in Broadcast Journalism 2 and which will enable you to work on the 4th year Major Journalism Project in television documentary to a higher level.
|
You will be encouraged to maintain a blog through the course of the module on which you will post a record of your research, and notes on any development and production activities. You will receive continuous oral feedback and support on the development of your ideas and practical work in tutorials, workshops, a pitching session, and a class critique. You will have the opportunity to reflect on this feedback in your research/project blog. You will also undertake research, camera and editing workshops to support your assessable coursework.
|
The module has two assessments. The first is an essay that allows you to explore key academic theories and to consider various possible approaches to documentary practice while critically analysing a documentary film (30% weighting, due in Week 10, LOs covered 1 and 2). The second assessment is a 6-minute documentary film developed from a brief (70% weighting, due in Week 13, LOs covered 3, 4, 5 and 6). You will work in collaborative groups to create structured narrative with an appropriate approach to representing the subject of your film. You are expected to demonstrate competence in camerawork, sound-recording and editing. Your assessment will also take into account your ability to contribute to group work, manage workloads, study independently and meet deadlines.
