Amcanion cyffredinol

The aim of this course is to provide students with an introduction to media practice. Students will be given basic tuition in the use of video and audio production equipment. Working in small groups, students will be expected to produce two pieces of creative work; one video, one audio. Students will then be expected to reflect critically upon the production process, and the final pieces of work, making reference to a body of theory. This module provides tuition and practical experience in two aspects of media production: single camera production with editing, and radio production. Students will participate in group set exercises before creating their own original programme, as well as writing a critical analysis of each work.

Cynnwys cwrs

This course will introduce students to the basic skills and techniques which will enable them to explore the principles of media production through creative work. Students will work in groups to produce two short media texts, using broadcast standard equipment. Students will also be taught how to analyse their own work within the context of theory, and to establish a relationship between media production theory and practice.
