Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to Los
This module will consist of individual and group tutorials (Los 2,3,4). A learning contract will be drawn up in which you will detail your planned project portfolio hand in. This will consist of contributions to one or more short films by negotiation with your tutor. This is followed by the shooting and post production of these short film projects. Tutorials will follow in which you are assisted in the drafting of your reflective report (LOs 1,5,6)
This module enables you to build and realise the personal and professional skills you will need as a practitioner in this field. You will develop your ability to read critically and analytically, to articulate and discuss creative ideas to respond to feedback, and to work independently. Employability skills developed: Team working, working to deadlines, setting objectives, creativity, communicating, organising and planning, critical evaluation and reflective skills.
Formative Assessment:
During the shoot the tutor will be available for consultation, and then will feed back formally during post production at rough cut, fine cut and sound dub stages to enable formative assessment.


Summative Assessment:
Assessment (formative and summative)


You will be summatively assessed on your contribution to a portfolio of one or more short (8-10 minute) films (LO 2,3,4). During the shoot the tutor will be available for consultation, and then will feed back formally during post production at rough cut, fine cut and sound dub stages to enable formative assessment.
You are required to provide an initial synopsis of your planned report detailing its focus, methodology and timetable, enabling formative assessment prior to the hand in. You will then present drafts to their supervisors for comment and eventually present a final draft [5,000 words] for summative assessment (LO 1,5,6).
