Content Summary
This module aims to take visual creativity to the next level. Students will be encouraged to explore different documentary and drama styles that are appropriate to their exploitation across different media. Students will be encouraged to investigate the visual relationship between medium and style, thereby discovering the appropriate techniques for delivery on different platforms.
In order to do this successfully, they will be introduced to traditional industry standard budgeting and scheduling packages so that they can adapt these to new media. They will also be encouraged to look into the principles of adaptation
In order to rework content for differing platforms.
Students will sometimes work with existing source material but will be encouraged to understand that adaptation/interpretation involves a high level of creativity and agency.
