Content
The course will have strong emphasis on the study of film (cinema, television and moving image related) practices, with a chief aim being to document and describe new knowledge and historic knowledge of practices in related industry and film arts.
The strong taught component is fundamentally informed by the notion of combined theory and practice.
Appropriate research methodology will allow students to initiate, develop and analyse by intervention with practitioners (in workplace environments and as visitors).
