| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching Methods (including their alignment to Learning Outcomes)Through a series of lectures and workshops you will critically evaluate and build your existing skills in screenwriting, production and direction in the making of short and feature film creation (LOs 1- 6). You will test these skills in a series of short exercises, some of which will be completedindependently, and some in class-based workshops. Your work will be supported throughout the module by tutorials (LOs 1-6) and reviewed either during workshops or in crits (LO 6).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 cultural 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 ofnationalities 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 on 8 exercises (LO 2-5), which, depending on your specialism, will include short filmed scenes of between 1 and 2 minutes duration, test scripts, performances, outlines, treatments, budgets, schedules and/or finance and distribution plans. These exercises are completed/presented and reviewed at a series of crits or assessed workshops throughout the trimester. This provide an opportunity for formative feedback. The work will be assessed summatively through the submission of a portfolio containing these materials at the end of the trimester. This portfolio will consist of the four completed exercises plus contextualising and supporting paperwork such as film stills, sample budgets, script excerpts and other reference and research materials. The expected length of the exercises is a total duration of 10-12 minutes in either script or live action form, or 3000 words in the case of written work. The portfolio submission should be equivalent to the size of a large lever-arch file. Critical reflection within this module takes place through the learning log, submitted at the end of the trimester (LO 1, 6). This will contain around 1500 words.
