We have divided this course into three units:
Unit 1: Acquisition of Skills in Moving Image Production;
Unit 2: Planning and Making a Moving Image Product; and
Unit 3: Critical Response to Moving Image Products.
Each unit is outlined in more detail below:
Unit 1: Acquisition of Skills in Moving Image Production
Students practise two of the following film language areas:
- camera technique;
- sound;
- mise-en-scène;
- lighting;
- editing;
- animation; and/or
- post production.
Unit 2: Planning and Making a Moving Image Product
Students produce their own moving image product (either a live action film or an animation). This unit takes the form of an externally set assignment (ESA).
Unit 3: Critical Response to Moving Image Products
Students learn how to critically analyse film and animation. They develop knowledge and understanding of film language, genre conventions and visual style.
