Syllabus

Students on this course undertake self-directed study under academic supervision as individuals in the production of a short moving image project intended for public viewing. Following an introductory lecture, teaching will take the form of regular supervision meetings to support pre-production, production and post-production including work-in-progress meetings leading up to the submission of a completed production in the chosen form. A substantial piece of reflective, analytical writing will be produced in relation to the production, along with a critical evaluation of the completed project.
