Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and Teaching Methods including alignment to LOs.The module is delivered as a series of weekly three-hour lectures, seminars and sessions with industry guests. Initial lectures provide students with a contextualising overview of the various institutions, structures and personnel in the film and television industries. (LO’s 1-3). Interactive sessions with industry guests then offer students insight into current industry practice across a range of areas – screenwriting; script editing and development; producer roles; legal frameworks (LO’s 1-5). The module is supported by VLE where session content is enhanced with links to further resources. Discussion and debate is encouraged in class and on the Screen Academy Facebook group.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsThe module promotes written skills in research, writing and presentation. The sessions with industry guests promote contacts with industry and may lead to further relationships (f.e. mentoring or work placements). Assessment (formative and summative)There are two assessments. A Market Analysis develops research and analytical skills in the preparation of a written report on a market/market segment of the student’s interest (LO’s 1, 2, 4, 6). For the second assessment, students have a choice. MA Film students are encouraged to use the Case Study option to research a person, area or department relevant to their professional interests. The Case Study should evidence learning on the module and place the student’s future professional development in an industrial context (LO’s 1-6). MA Screenwriting students are encouraged to use the Script Development Proposal option to explore the potential of their Major Project work in Trimester 3 (LO's 1-6).
