Module Aims
To develop confidence and proficiency in the use of digital photographic skills and lighting techniques required for the construction of illusion.
To initiate, test and execute ambitious visual ideas, that demonstrate an understanding of the construction of illusion through photography.
To gain critical understanding around photographic illusion, the construction of ideologies and the proliferation and ubiquity of images as information within historical and contemporary visual culture.
Content Summary
By promoting an exploration of the photograph as an illusion this module expands and complements the visual, technical and critical skills acquired in the two initial modules of the course.
It focuses on manipulated representation by encouraging an exploration of the transformative, illusionary powers of photography through the controlled use of camera, lighting skills and basic digital postproduction towards the construction of meaning.
Students are expected to take some first steps in critically exploring the transformative powers of photography using examples from historical and contemporary photographic contexts.
This module also provides the opportunity for students to become aware of how photographic meaning has shifted with the advent of digital technologies, and powerful new avenues for virtual dissemination.
