Lectures and seminars: Students will be asked to explore new areas of learning and topics will be delivered through traditional, interactive and mini lectures.
Workshops: Workshops are used to develop and enhance students’ abilities in technical and production skills. They provide the opportunity for students to explore and experiment with solutions to wide variety of problems appropriate to film and television practice.
Tutorials: These are used to monitor the academic progress of students by means of discussion, feedback and progressive evaluation. This will give the opportunity for students to openly discuss their work, to encourage an analytical approach and to develop independent judgment.
Portfolio: A portfolio represents a collection of materials developed by the student over the duration of the unit. This method allows the student to review and assess how much they have progressed and how their ability to deal with problems has developed and been managed, ultimately accounting for student development. Typically, students maintain a portfolio of critical reflection, supporting documentation and evidence of learning.
Presentations: The presentation of material by students to their peers and members of academic staff will generate feedback that will develop students’ ability to communicate and improve their effectiveness in articulating ideas. They not only foster self-critical evaluation of a personal or team performance but also develop skills in evaluating and feeding back on the performance of others.
Group Projects: Projects vary in their aims, objectives and requirements depending on the desired learning outcomes at a particular level, but are a foundation upon which practical film work is achieved. Projects also offer a useful learning and teaching vehicle, allowing students to select and creatively manage appropriate material collaboratively, mirroring industry practice.
