This module will enable students to acquire the essential skills to undertake video production and create coherent video programmes. Practical instruction and familiarisation is supported by workshop sessions focusing upon elements of the relationship between technique and the inscription of mise-en-scene within film. Whilst specific craft skills are recognised there is greater emphasis upon the overall requirements of the production process, including elements of production management, and an understanding of how these components integrate to maximise the communication potential of a production. Learning is structured around the production of an individual portfolio of practical tasks supported by associated research tasks investigating the application of technique to the interpretation and reception of audio-visual texts, and a project executed within small production groups. An individual evaluation of learning during the module is also required.
