Content Summary
Having reviewed their practice, students are now required to start the process of defining their practice with a focus on the production of a standalone or the continuation of a long-term project. The module will also focus on the skills required to collaborate and engage, ethically in communities and the legal and ethical implications of creating such work.

During the module students will be engaged in the following:
1.Negotiating, proposing, developing and contextualising, a documentary photography, practical project.
2.Project planning, management, and evaluation as an integral part of process.
3.Undertaking different forms of self-directed learning employing both divergent and convergent investigation, speculative enquiry, visualisation, and creation.
4.Exploring and adapting diverse approaches to media and processes indicative of the field of documentary practices.
5.Researching and developing ideas, objects and events in order to successfully propose and contextualise projects.
