Module Aims

Enable students to create a substantial body of high-quality work that expresses their ability in their chosen specialism.

Guide students towards material appropriate for their personal showreel and other material that exhibits their ability.

Ensure student’s retain focus on recognised industry-based roles and responsibilities throughout their work on the module.

Content Summary

The purpose of this module is to provide the student with the opportunity to create a significant body of work that exhibits the level of their technical, aesthetic, and intellectual abilities, in relation to their chosen specialism.

The student will propose a body of work related to their chosen filmmaking specialism or role, which is discussed and agreed with supervisor.

The work created will be either through self-initiated individual work, a group-initiated team-based project, or an industry-led portfolio of work.

Guidance on the focus and content of the self-reflective journal composition appropriate to the level of this module will also be provided, to support the student in the development of their own reflective practices.

Tutorials will guide students on their practice through discussion and observation of work.

Agreed interim project delivery points will provide formative assessments of work created and methods undertaken at key points throughout the projects production.

Final deadline will form the summative assessment point, where all work should be submitted in the agreed forms and formats.
