Trefnydd: Dr Geraint Ellis

This module will introduce students to a variety of creative elements that will form part of their degree programmes, with particular emphasis on generic skills that can be applied in various areas of media production. This will include developing and researching ideas, basic production techniques and methods, script-writing skills, and creative reflection and evaluation. It will provide a useful foundation for the practice-based elements of the Media and Journalism provision offered in the school, whilst also helping to develop the students’ critical skills. The context of creative media production within the wider framework of the creative industries will also be addressed, as the relationship between creativity and employability will be discussed. This will establish an early awareness of the key links between these elements and the teaching provision subsequently provided on other modules.

Students on this module will attend a weekly lecture focusing on the following aspects of Creative Practice, amongst other issues: developing ideas, research, scripting for factual and fiction-based production, production methods and techniques, working as part of a team, project management, creativity and employability, and the importance of the Creative Industries sector. These will all be considered in the context of film, television, radio, podcasting, journalism and digital content in general. Students will also attend weekly workshops that will give them an opportunity to develop their creative skills and techniques. They will be able to develop the work they will be submitting as part of their creative portfolio during these sessions. Although the assessments will all be undertaken individually, students will participate in both individual and team-based exercises during the workshops. Health and safety guidance will also be provided at appropriate stages.
