Assessment 1: Portfolio (including examples)

The formative element of this module is ongoing. Students practice and produce work in studio and post-production contexts, building towards the assessed portfolio, summative assessment 1.

Portfolio

Assessment 1: Portfolio

A portfolio of storytelling and editing tasks. This will typically include a draft of a short film screenplay and a compilation of editing assignments, including an individual edit of the short film. Students will work as a group to produce the shared rushes for the film, but each student will produce their own individual narrative edit for submission in the portfolio.

Assessment 2: Written Assignment

A reflective and evaluative essay, on the work submitted in the portfolio.

Written Assignment

<p>This module introduces you to two related key concepts and practices in the production of screen media: storytelling and editing. An introduction to screenwriting and picture and sound editing in post-production processes is contextualised with the study of the foundation, structure and history of narration and storytelling. The module explores both technical and creative challenges in moving picture narration as well as televisual production. It combines an understanding of the role of narration and storytelling in culture and society, reflections on authorship and auteurism, and the technical skills of narrating stories using film and other screen formats through editing.</p>
