2. Creative project (85%): consists of three elements:-

a)  A major project or productions to be agreed in semester 1.

b)  Evidence of assisting roles in other productions.

c)  A continuous documentation of the process.

Formative assessment will be given in the form of regular individual and group tutorials, plus a formative submission of the creative project.

• Provide an opportunity to develop individual areas of operational interest and expertise.
• To enable the students to produce a screen based creative project demonstrating a high standard of intellectual and practical skills.
• To provide opportunities for students to produce a comprehensive oral presentation and complete projects that accurately reflect personal achievements through the creative work completed.

Learning outcomes

Methods of Teaching / Learning

The learning and teaching strategy is designed to: develop production skills in styles of TV and film making. It will also provide opportunities for discussion and debate. Some two-hour plenary session at the beginning of the semester. Seminar later in term where each student will give a presentation on their project topic. Regular tutorials and group feedback sessions

Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
