Aims
In the Major Project negotiated module students complete their final coursework building on, but also taking the opportunity to re-consider, conclusions from previous research. Unless the relevant information and procedures have been established previously, students are required to develop, manage and complete an in-depth project that demonstrates mastery within their chosen specialism. Building on the work-based learning tradition, this project may be completed with input from peers and collaborators from inside or outside the course, but in combination with accompanying documentation should demonstrate the students’ personal advanced media production and related skills, as well as an understanding of opportunities and limitations, at the forefront of film and digital media industry practice. Building on the practice form preceding modules, advanced skills in reflective practice allow learners to evaluate the outcome of this project in light of the research, planning, testing, resource mapping and market observation.
