Overall aims and purpose

Bydd y modiwl hwn yn cyflwyno myfyrwyr i amryw o elfennau creadigol a fydd yn rhan o’u cynlluniau gradd, gyda phwyslais arbennig ar sgiliau generaidd y gellir ei defnyddio mewn gwahanol feysydd cynhyrchu o fewn y cyfryngau. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys datblygu ac ymchwilio syniadau, technegau a dulliau cynhyrchu sylfaenol, ac adfyfyrio a gwerthuso beirniadol. Bydd yn cyflwyno sylfaen buddiol ar gyfer elfennau ymarferol y ddarpariaeth Cyfryngau a Newyddiaduraeth a gyflwynir yn yr ysgol yn ddiweddarach, ac yn cynorthwyo’r myfyrwyr i ddatblygu eu sgiliau beirniadol. Rhoddir sylw i gynhyrchu creadigol yn y cyfryngau o fewn fframwaith ehangach y diwydiannau creadigol, a thrafodir y berthynas rhwng creadigrwydd a chyflogadwyedd. Bydd hyn yn sefydlu ymwybyddiaeth gynnar o’r cysylltiadau rhwng yr elfennau hyn a’r ddarpariaeth dysgu a gyflwynir ar fodiwlau dilynol.

Course content

Trafodir yr agweddau hyn yng nghyd-destun ffilm, teledu, radio, podledu, newyddiaduraeth a chynnwys digidol yn gyffredinol. Byddant hefyd yn mynychu gweithdy wythnosol a fydd yn rhoi cyfle iddynt ddatblygu eu sgiliau a’u technegau creadigol. Yn y sesiynau hyn, y bydd modd iddynt ddatblygu’r gwaith y byddant yn ei baratoi ar gyfer eu portffolio creadigol. Er mai gwaith unigol a gyflwynir ar gyfer yr asesiadau, bydd y myfyrwyr yn cymeryd rhan mewn ymarferion yn unigol ac fel rhan o dim yn ystod y gweithdai.
