Aims
In the ‘Preproduction’ negotiated module students further develop their independent learning by identifying and negotiating well reasoned resources or other requirements, like collaborators, for their major project. This builds on guidance from their mentors and peers and on an evaluation of procedures available. The module is based on a workbased learning tradition and builds on initial student outlines and research. It requires learners to negotiate with potential stakeholders such as suppliers, markets or audiences. Building on conclusions resulting from earlier modules investigating Project context and assumptions, learners are building the trusted relationships required to create a media production or theoretical investigation that is designed to demonstrate Mastery at the forefront of industry practice.
