You will be expected to take advantage of the extensive library facilities and careers services available within the University; keeping abreast of current developments through appropriate periodicals and being aware of the work of major practitioners in your subject.

You will be given the opportunity of working on a series of project proposals for an external brief, which may be in the form of a competition/experimental film festival and/or live brief with industry (e.g: art galleries, museums, company websites, one-off events) . The way in which a creative idea is influenced by the external partner's requirements will be considered, as will industrial and/or user constraints together with the meeting of strict deadlines. (Liaison with an external source over concepts to completion is imperative) Supported by market and visual research, you will be required to generate a range of ideas and use creative pre-production methods acquired during previous levels of the course. You will present your final work in a professional manner within the context determined by the client or the competition.
