This module provides an introduction to film making. It employs a range of approaches to working with film to ensure a combination of practical considerations within a theoretical perspective. Thus management and the language used in film making is studied giving insights into industry practices, for pre-production, production and post-production. Working with people is key in film making and so students work on skills requited for team-building and collaboration with the skills sets of digital cinematography, lighting, sound, and non-linear editing techniques.
Story telling lies at the heart of any film and students well explore in particular the art of communicating the narrative in visual form across film, television and other forms of mass communication.
