Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching Methods (including their alignment to Learning Outcomes) Lectures, seminars and tutorials explore and encourage debate around narrative forms within fiction film making. You will develop awareness - both when you view fiction films and when you create your own work – of the importance of continuity systems and how filmic elements, in particular the edit and sound design, contribute to the narrative structure of a scene (LO1 - LO5). You will undertake two creative and technical exercises (LO1 - LO5) to develop your film-making skills, which will cover scriptwriting, previsualisation through storyboarding, framing and staging within a sequence of shots, the use of on-screen and off-screen space and sound design. To develop technical skills, training via a series of lectures and workshops will be supported by access to the necessary film and sound equipment, as well as film editing and sound design software (LO2, LO3, LO4).Group critiques of the practical work, will give further opportunity for you to reflect on your creativity and contribution to collaborative projects, as well as the contributions of others. You will maintain a journal (LO1 - LO5) where you will collate your research and reflect upon the continuous peer review and assessor led feedback that you will receive throughout the course of the module.
|
Throughout the process of project development, you will have the opportunity to reflect upon the continuous feedback and review that you will receive both from your peers and from your assessors. The oral feedback given during seminars and tutorials will constitute the main form of your feedback and you will be encouraged to evidence this by keeping your journal up to date with your notes from seminars, tutorials and production meetings, your critical reflection, and your independent research.You will also undertake a series of technical workshops in support of your assessable course work.

You will undertake three elements of assessment. You will develop and realise two practical film projects and keep a journal of your learning activities.The first project (element 1 - LO1, LO2, LO3, LO5) is concerned with systems of continuity editing and will develop your skills in:• narrative construction within a sequence of shots; • your understanding of the importance of pre-visualisation;• collaboratively developing ideas and proposals in response to assignments;• writing a short fiction scene and planning its visualisation; • recording sound effectively, in relation to the picture and to the narrative intentions.The second project (element 2, LO1, LO3, LO4, LO5). Explores the main theories, concepts and principles involved in sound design and its relation to picture. It gives you the opportunity to develop your film making skills from initial inception, through the script and pre-visualisation stages, the production, the edit and the final realisation of a short film project.You will critically reflect upon the outcomes of the work undertaken as well as your contribution and you will evidence this in your journal (element 3 – LO1, LO5).Assessment will take in to account your ability to contribute to group work, manage workloads, study independently and meet deadlines.
