Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching Methods (including their alignment to Learning Outcomes)The module will consist of a series of seminars, workshops and group tutorials in which you generate, critique and defend original story materials for commercial exploitation during pitching (LOs 1, 2), development (LOs 3-5) and finally on paper (LO 4-6). Development work will be supported by tutorials (LOs 4-6) while lectures and seminars on industry and critical context will enable you to reflect critically throughout the process (LO 3).Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsEmphasis is placed on building well-developed skills to support your individual development as a film maker in your chosen discipline. In common with all students on the Kino Eyes European Movie Masters, you will have completed a Personal Development Plan, in your first semester on the programme, based on personal critical research into current and emerging professional-level practices in your specialism. This will outline your professional, creative and critical goals for the programme and beyond. You will review this plan as part of your learning logs and critical studies throughout the two year programme. Employability skills developed: Autonomous and team working, working to deadlines, setting objectives, creativity, communicating, organising and planning, critical evaluation and reflective skills.This programme is part of a suite of complementary programmes running within Screen Academy Scotland. Students from all programmes are involved in common masterclasses and professional practice events. Cross-programme collaboration is also encouraged.Research/ teaching linkagesStaff and visiting lecturers throughout this programme are selected for their substantial industry experience, and this forms the basis for much of their teaching. Additionally, staff within the Screen Academy continue to develop and work on live projects and professional practice based research assignments, which will inform their approach to the teaching of the module.Supporting equality and diversityThe broad cultural scope of the module is designed to allow students from varying cultural and demographic backgrounds to develop their own unique voices. The philosophy of the programme in which the module is offered is that film is a universal cultural medium. Students will be encouraged to create work that responds to their diverse national traditions and sensibilities and in their own milieu and language. The cross fertilisation that results from this rich mix of nationalities collaborating together will create project work and a student experience that is highly original and international in its character.Internationalisation The Kino Eyes programme, of which this module is a part, has been designed as an international programme. Seventy-five per cent of students are expected to be from outside the EU. Students will therefore benefit from an international experience throughout, by virtue of the rich mix of nationalities expected from the cohort. If you are an international student, you will be given advice as to the support that is available to you in the University.The programme is delivered in campuses in three European states, and most students will get the opportunity to study in Edinburgh, Tallinn and Lisbon in the course of their time on the programme. Although the teaching of the programme as a whole will have a global emphasis, studying in the three different countries will enable students to immerse themselves in three distinctive national film cultures.

You will work in producer/writer/director teams towards the development of your graduation projects. Your work will be discussed in pitches and presentations during the trimester. The presentations and group workshops provide opportunities for ongoing formative feedback, and the work will be summatively assessed through the submission of a portfolio (LOs 1-6). This will contain written versions of verbally presented pitching materials together with a draft short film screenplay (15 pages approx.), a short film package (10 pages approx.) and a feature film proposal (10 pages approx.) at the end of the trimester. This portfolio will be a group submission for each writer-producer-director team. In addition, an individual learning log (approx. 2,000 words) submission will enable you to reflect critically on your progress at each stage (LO 3).
