This module is designed to equip students with a range of filming and editing skills appropriate to the task of completing a group short film project. Sessions will be structured to deliver training in the various elements of film production through a series of class assignments and interactive tutorials. Students will work in groups and will take responsibility for developing this project into a short-length film. Sessions will also incorporate a consideration of film texts, encouraging students to analyse existing works in relation to their own practice.
