Aims and objectives
This unit develops and enhances an understanding of experimental film, video and broader moving image production within the Film and Television industries. Through critical engagement with existing screen works and the production of audio-visual work specifically designed for non-traditional screens students will develop an experimental approach and creative skill set. The unit explores the application of mobile, smartphone and pocket cameras for moving-image and experimental screen production. Furthermore, students will investigate the potential of emerging media for creative innovation within and beyond the Film and Television industry.
1. Evaluate the role of experimental screen techniques in contemporary sectors of the Film and Television industries
2. Identify a range of screen work with contemporary and historical approaches within experimental film, video and moving image
3. Evaluate different methods of moving image production in delivering Film and Television products for non-traditional screens
4. Produce experimental screen outcomes in Film and Television that apply competent production and post-production processes
5. Explore experimentation processes relevant for film and television production and post-production
