Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
 

As the focus for this module, Students will negotiate and propose what they will choose to develop as a specialist focus with the aim to further develop their skills (the aim will be to introduce this at the end of Level 5). They will develop a schedule to create and produce a project that investigates and extends their knowledge in a specific field of specialist interest. The proposal will also define the object/s of production in a presentation and pitch, including contextual research around the current industry concerned with this specialist interest. The development of projects will be supported by workshops and tutorial support across the range of specialism. Students will have additional access to tutorial support. Students will present progress and development in a seminar every two weeks. 

The project may be collaborative and cross-programme (particularly in tandem with the Media Production Level 6 module of the same name). 

 
Module Overview:
In this module you will be further able to develop specialist skills and knowledge in a discipline area of your choice. Following the first through weeks, you will propose a project and present a schedule for the work. For the work itself, you will each produce a short piece or practical example (artefact) that can be in any form that suites your specialist interest and develops one or more requisite skill (for example live, voice or film performance, immersive practice etc).

You should use the project to identify and develop experience in a specialist skill that interests you, you should submit this with your preliminary research which might include scripts, designs, research, blogs or journal notes as appropriate to your project. The emphases of the module is on the development of a key - this could be performed or technical in quality. 
Additional Information:

The module allows for flexibility to offer options in line with industry trends and student needs.
