This course will enable you to develop film production skills with digital equipment and the opportunity to use analogue equipment, as well as knowledge of the theories of contemporary cinema. The focus is placed firmly on developing clear and simple storytelling techniques that go beyond arbitrary formal categorizations of drama, documentary or genre. The course takes its inspiration from forms of cultural production that have challenged conformity, including the work of artists, musicians, painters and performers, and the movements of Italian neo-realism and the cinemas of Africa, Latin America, South East Asia and the Middle East. This course encourages you to synthesize your personal experience, critical knowledge and craft skills to express yourself through moving pictures. You will study the basic principles of film making, develop an understanding of the nature and potential of visual storytelling, and discover the importance of sound, lighting and the screenplay. You will also gain a sound knowledge of theories and ideas that can help in the interpretation of your own work and that of other filmmakers. You will produce a portfolio of moving-image projects to illustrate your technical ability in cinematography, sound recording, editing and writing/direction. At the heart of the course is an emphasis on developing visual storytelling and vivid characters through script development.
Sound & Vision
This module enables students to communicate their visual and aural ideas in a coherent manner using technology to design, capture and display sound and cinematography. As filmmakers we produce meaning for the viewer by creating a blend of images and sounds, which generate emotional and intellectual responses. Clarity of communication and transmission of meaning are the two greatest challenges facing any filmmaker. Through combining cinematography, sound, and editing we will explore the technical and historical processes that enable us to explore and produce images that viewers can perceive and understand.
This module utilises the tools of digital film making technology. These tools have operating systems that are broadly similar to the wide range of communication devices most students are already familiar with and this similarity is used to ease them into becoming comfortable with equipment. Links are then identified with the classical techniques of film making that have remained consistent across the analogue and digital periods. In pre-production clarity and simplicity of describing action are fostered to communicate complex ideas with a production team. In production, focus and attention to technical detail provide quality raw material. During post-production organizational and mixing skills are developed in order to refine the raw material during the crucial editing phases.
This module will build on the experience gained in the modules in teaching block 1 and provide instruction in motion picture directorial techniques at an intermediate , drawing on classical and experimental modes of film making practice. In addition to directing their own short fiction or non-fiction film, students will also produce an unassessed group drama in which all students will have the opportunity to perform - drawing on the principles of neo-realism and its use of non-professional actors - and direct.
This module foregrounds the critical importance of a clear understanding of the specific nature of writing for moving image productions. It develops an appreciation of the craft and art of presenting factual and fictional stories in a genuinely cinematic style and develops a facility in the technique of producing original and adapted screenplays. By analysing the historical development of the form an awareness of the principles of screen writing is introduced and then developed through a series of intensive group-based and individual exercises in seminars and supporting workshops. Film Making 3 (Dissertation)
This module places a direct focus upon light weight, mobile production techniques, underlining the relation between technology/budget and aesthetics. The central principle is the inherent nature of film making as a collaborative art form, providing an opportunity for the genuine expression of individual ideas and a forum for the development of unique voices. Students will apply the skills developed in previous modules to plan and produce a substantial final film project, as a culmination of the Masters programme. They will be expected to synthesise their critical viewing experience, technical aptitudes, and critical faculties in writing, filming and editing to produce a film of broadcast quality.
Students need to have: a passion for film making; a distinct and individual voice; a second class degree or above in a humanities subject (film, media studies, languages, history, English etc.) or in any other subject relating to the art and craft of film making or any media related diploma.
