On this module you will have the opportunity, through research and experimentation, to develop a number of approaches to film making, some of which will form the basis of film production projects in trimester two. You will carry out research and experimentation to an advanced level that links the knowledge and skills introduced and developed throughout the Programme, enabling you to carry out film project work in Trimester 2, at an accomplished and sustained level.
You will develop, plan and undertake research that will contribute to the creative realisation of collaborative film project(s), working to a high technical and conceptual level within recognised film-making roles, as defined by current film industry practices. Your findings will be submitted as part of a research dossier, which will contain a test film sequence, a written self reflective assessment, and supporting evidence in the form of a journal, that clearly conveys the nature of the work that you have undertaken, and the research and creative strategies that you have employed. The research dossier will inform either individual or collaborative group film proposal(s) that will be presented during an oral presentation.

Upon completion of this module you will be able to
LO1: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of a range of practice-based research methodologies that are relevant to specific film making departments;
LO2: Competently and appropriately use a range of advanced technical skills and practices that are relevant to film-making;
LO3: Use advanced research skills to extract appropriate information from a range of sources;
LO4: Apply sophisticated ideas and concepts in the realisation of an increasingly individual film-making practice;
LO5: Communicate effectively, and exercise autonomy and initiative in professional and creative activities;
