Module Description: |
This module aims to develop students’ range of creative and collaborative practices in media arts as a dynamic and significant area of contemporary art. It builds on learner knowledge and skills acquired in Stage 2, Art & The Moving Image, Video Editing and also Stage 3, Collaborative Exhibition Practices and Themes in Contemporary Art. Applying a production company model the module will facilitate learners to develop roles aligned with their main studio elective in expanded practices or painting practices. The module will take the learners through step by step the pre-production, production and post production of a collaborative film essay, experimental fiction, experimental documentary or audio-visual installation developed through the learners’ self-direction and creative focus. The module aims to help learners develop important creative and professional skills in terms of creative contribution to a larger project, collaboration and group commitment. The module aims to expand the creative range of learners understanding of interdisciplinary practices in contemporary art.
