This subject invites students to explore and engage with the aural and visual languages essential to film production and analysis. Through a series of practical screen exercises, lectures and workshops students will be invited to investigate screen grammar and form – helping them communicate more fluently through and about the screen. Topics explored will include film styles, screen grammar, development of shared languages, collaborative skills and artistic vision.
Through activities in seminar/tutorials and through practical application, students will gain the knowledge and collaborative skills to envision and develop their screen language.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- employ critical analysis skills for the screen;
- evaluate their own process, outputs and collaboration style to define a working methodology of practice;
- recognise and deploy screen grammar in short screen exercises;
- engage productively with peers through the application of established skills in collaborative screen production.
Generic skills
On completion of this subject, students should be able to:
- employ a wide range of techniques for stimulating creativity;
- respond openly and imaginatively to new ideas;
- articulate, integrate and adapt knowledge from different domains;
- apply critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills to unfamiliar challenges;
- work as part of a team to achieve a common goal.
