Produce work that illustrates a sophisticated contextualisation of one’s own critical and/or creative work in relation to the broader field of Film Studies and/or Film Practice
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:
This module is designed as an introduction to research methods in film studies and filmmaking. Students will cover a range of methodological, critical, and practice-based issues likely to arise in any research project that students might undertake at postgraduate level (including practice-based project). Students will be introduced to research methods for critical and creative practice. Students will learn how to find and assess the usefulness of primary sources in paper and moving-image archives, how to contextualise with secondary research, and present research in essay form. Students will develop their critical and creative practice skills at postgraduate level. The module will explore the nature of creative and critical research methods in Film Studies and introduce some of the technical skills needed to tackle creative projects (digital competencies in basic camera, sound and editing operations).
