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 will work in groups of 4, under the supervision of a member of staff, to complete the short film. This film will be complemented by an essay critically analysing the production process and outcomes, as well as a production diary outlining the individual students contribution to the work
It is recommended that students wishing to follow this module complete UXS 3049 Advanced Screenwriting.
Cynnwys cwrs
The taught element of this course will provide students with advanced instruction in four elements of short film production
- Video recording
- Sound recording
- Video editing
- Sound editing and dubbing
Supervisory sessions will be tailored to each group's individual needs, and will be mapped out at the beginning of the module, in consultation with each group's individual supervisor. Supervisors will provide students with consistent feedback on their work, and will co-operate with them to identify areas where there is a need for development, providing guidance on how each group, and each individual student, can improve their work through both guided tutoring and student-led learning.
