Organiser: Dr Dyfrig Jones

Amcan y modiwl hwn yw galluogi myfyrwyr i gynhyrchu ffilmiau byr ac i osod y broses cynhyrchu o fewn cyd-destun diwydiannol ac academaidd.

Bydd myfyrwyr yn gweithio mewn grwpiau o bychain o dan oruchwyliaeth aelod staff, i gwblhau ffilm fer. Caiff y myfyrwyr ryddid i ddewis rol benodol - megis cyfarwyddwr, person camera, person sain neu olygydd - a bydd disgwyl iddynt ddatblygu dealltwriaeth o'r rol honno tra'n gweithio ar y ffilm. Drwy hyn, mae'r modiwl yn arfogi myfyrwyr gyda dealltwriaeth o sut mae ffilmiau'n cael eu cynhyrchu, yn ogystal a meithrin sgliau creadigol newydd.

Bydd rhan gyntaf y cwrs yn dysgu'r myfyrwyr am bedair brif elfen o gynhyrchu ffilm fer

• Recordio fideo
• Recordio sain
• Golygu fideo
• Golygu sain a dybio

Yn dilyn hyn bydd pob grŵp yn gweithio o dan oruwchwyliaeth tiwtor i ddatblygu a chwblhau'r ffilm. Bydd y tiwtor yn rhoi adborth cyson i fyfyrwyr am eu gwaith, ac yn cydweithio gyda hwy i adnabod meysydd sydd angen eu datblygu, yn rhoi canllawiau am sut y gall pob grŵp, a phob myfyriwr unigol, wella eu gwaith.

1. Cynhyrchu ffilm fer mewn grwp, sydd yn cwrdd a safonau cynhyrchu proffesiynnol

2. Dadansoddi y prif brosesau sydd ynghlwm wrth gynhyrchu ffilmiau byrion mewn cyd-destun proffesiynnol, gan gymharu yn feirniadol gwahanol dueddiadau o fewn y maes

3. Dangos sgil technegol uwch mewn un agwedd ar gynhyrchu ffilm

4. Dangos y gallu i weithio fel rhan o dîm cynhyrchu, gan ddangos arweinyddiaeth mewn un agwedd benodol o'r broses gynhyrchu.

Type	Name	Description	Weight
ESSAY	Traethawd	Traethawd yn dadansoddi un swyddogaeth oddi fewn i griw cynhyrchu ffilm	30
LOGBOOK OR PORTFOLIO	Portffolio Ffilm	Ffilm fer o rhwng 5-10 munud o hyd, ynghyd a dogfennau perthnasol. Bydd y ffilm a'r dogfennau yn cael eu cyflwyno gan y grwp cyfan, a bydd un set o adborth ac un marc yn cael ei roi i'r grwp. Mae'r aseiniad hwn yn cael ei farcio fel grwp, yn hytrach nac yn unigol, i adlewyrchu natur gyd-weithredol cynhyrchu ffilm, ac yn unol ac arferion da dysgu cynhyrchu ffilm ar draws y sector addysg uwch.	50
REPORT	Adroddiad ar waith grwp	Adroddiad ar waith grwp, yn cofnodi cyfraniad unigol y myfyriwr at gynhyrchu'r ffilm, ac yn rhoi adborth ar gyfraniad aelodau eraill o'r grwp.	20

		Hours
Tutorial	11 x Tiwtorial wythnosol o hanner awr, wedi ei gynnal mewn grwpiau o bedwar. Os nad yw'r panel yn fodlon gyda hyn, gellid cynyddu nifer y gweithdai (uchod) o 6 i 11, ond bydd hyn yn arwain at ddirywiad ym mhrofiad y myfyrwyr, a diddymu'r tiwtorial. Fy marn broffesiynnol, fel arbenigwr pwnc, yw bod tiwtorial bach wythnosol o hanner awr yn gwbl dderbyniol yn y maes yma.	6
Private study	Cynnal ymchwil a fydd yn cyfrannu tuag at ddatblygiad y traethawd, ynghyd a chwblhau gwaith ar y ffilm fer.	177
