Amcanion cyffredinol
The aim of this module is to allow students to produce a short dramatic film, and to locate this process of production within an industrial and academic context.
Students work in small groups under the supervision of a member of staff, to complete a short film. Students will be given the freedom to choose a particular role - such as director, camera person, sound person or editor - and will be expected to develop an understanding of that role while working on the film. In this way, the module equips students with an understanding of how films are made, as well as developing new creative skills.
Cynnwys cwrs
The first part of the course will teach students about the four main elements of short film production
- Video recording - Sound recording - Video editing - Audio editing and dubbing
Following this each group will work under the supervision of a tutor to develop and complete the film. The tutor will give students regular feedback on their work, and work with them to identify areas for development, give guidance on how each group, and each individual student, can improve their work.

Workshop | 6 x 3 hour workshops |
18 |
Tutorial | 11 x Weekly half hour tutorial, held in groups of four. If the panel is not satisfied with this, the number of workshops (above) could be increased from 6 to 11, but this will undermine the student experience. My professional opinion, as a subject matter expert, is that a small weekly half hour tutorial is perfectly acceptable in this area. |

Private study | Conduct research that will contribute to the development of the essay, as well as completing work on the short film. |
