Description of module content:

On this module you will have the opportunity to develop, plan and undertake a substantial and coherent factual or fiction film project that is resolved to high creative, technical and presentational levels. The film productions created during this module will build upon the research and development undertaken during Final Year Project Research (LMD10101). Working collaboratively with your peers, you will develop your technical and aesthetic understanding of film production, and the synergies that exist between technical operation and creative selection.
To creatively collaborate in the pre-production, production and post-production of these films, you will work in individual Head of Department roles in the areas of producing, directing, writing, production design, cinematography, sound design and/or editing.
You will also work in recognised roles within film department teams, applying appropriate professional practices across your own and other’s main film productions.
All roles will be supported and informed by an understanding of relevant technical, critical, aesthetic and cultural debate and practices, and you will evidence this in a journal and production dossier, as well as a final written critical contextualisation report.

Learning Outcomes for module:
