The aims of the module are to broaden students’ knowledge of critical and cultural theory and to develop their understanding of the theoretical aspects of film and TV production with an emphasis on story-telling. Students learn about and reflect on the processes involved in film and TV programme production and consider the relationship between film and programme makers and their audiences. In terms of academic study skills the students will be given a context in which to develop their team-working skills.

The emphasis in the module is on the study of Film and TV with a focus on story-telling through Fiction. This requires the student to learn and evaluate film and TV language, analyse the roles played by image, sound and music, mise-en-scene, sets and setting, and to understand the notion of genres and their conventions.

Students consider the stages involved in film or TV production and the roles of major studios, public broadcasting and commercial organisations and the independent film-makers in the context of sources of finance, distribution and aesthetic values.

Students also consider the relationship between film makers and their audience – audience positioning and targeting, audience reading and assumptions and the expectations of audiences themselves and look at the work of film and programme-makers in a wider cultural context.
