This unit will explore short film and the institutional contexts of its production. You will investigate the artists, companies and organisations that produce, promote and screen short film and consider how particular social groups, ideas and ideologies are represented within them. The outcome of this learning will be a comprehensive individual research portfolio that will be submitted in the form of a blog. This unit is in preparation of unit 3: Production Management where in groups you will plan, produce and evaluate your own short films.
From week 2 you will have two structure lessons where particular research areas will be introduced as a starting point. The remaining lessons will be ‘self directed’ in order to record and extend your learning. The lessons will be organised as follows:
• Monday: Home study and blogging
• Tuesday: HKN lesson
• Wednesday: APB lesson
• Friday: Registered Design Studio blogging session
The following is a lot of work and it will not be possible to complete at the last minute. You must carry out the work on a regular basis every week. It is as much about organisation and self discipline as it is quality of work. We trust you to be sensible and use the self directed time as stated. Please don’t let us down!
