Professional Practices - AHC3421

Assessment 1: Portfolio (including examples)

The formative element of this module is ongoing, with interim deadlines largely determined by the production calendar(s) and workflow of the moving image projects, specialisms, industry partners, and/or clients you have elected to pursue. Universal formative submissions may include items like draft version(s) of your Industry Engagement Proposal. More bespoke formative submissions might include elements like a scoping document completed following your meeting with a prospective external client.

Formative Filmmaking Submissions

Assessment 1: Presentation

Students will present an Industry Engagement Proposal for planned work experience, placement, and/or client work, inclusive of ongoing professional network expansion efforts. 

Industry Engagement Proposal

Assessment 2: Portfolio

Building upon integrated career and moving image specialist development efforts across previous semesters, you will latterly submit a Professional Development Plan that a) evidences and reflects upon that professional engagement, and b) describes your related and refined short, medium, and long-term professional development plans for achieving a distinct set of potential moving image specialist destinations. This submission will include a Professional Network Expansion Database that you have built through sustained and resourceful external engagement with specific individuals, companies, and/or organisations. While the precise evidence of your external practice will vary as per your work experience contexts and specialist contributions, an instructive example would be a compilation of client edit feedback alongside streaming links to exports of each relevant cut of the client project.

Professional Development Plan

This module is the culmination of your growing industry engagement and related moving image specialisation across your undergraduate years: a mentored environment in which to build a bridge your professional future. You will propose an individual programme of moving image work experience, placement(s), and/or external client projects to be executed across the academic year. Lectures, seminars, and specialist/sector working groups will help you navigate this external engagement with an eye on current and emergent developments in moving image sectors and the creative/craft specialisms therein.
