Description

This module will provide an intermediate experience of film documentary, building on the short film-making in the Year 1, Term 2 Making the Media module. This module will provide an introduction to the history of documentary film, kino-pravda and cine-verite and to contemporary theories and practices of documentary rhetoric and art in the age of Youtube and “fake news”. Students will research, script, shoot and edit their own short documentary film.

NOTE: this module belongs to:

PATHWAY 1: Critical Media with Film – an emphasis on theory, but with a throughline of practical work in film-making running through Years 2 and 3. This pathway will follow the theory modules and all the practice modules in film up to advanced level.

PATHWAY 3: Media Practice – an emphasis on design in both Film and Games/VR/AR/XR, with options in critical theory to complement this. This pathway will follow all the practice modules in both film and games up to advanced level, along with selected theory modules.
