Unit Overview
- Description
This unit is designed for students wanting to specialise in the subject of film and learn the basics of cinematography, montage and moving images. In this unit students are offered a creative and analytical introduction to the key methods, means and concepts of working with moving images. This is a practice-based studio unit where students start to work with cameras, sound recording devices and non-linear editing platforms. In a supervised learning environment, students ideate, produce and edit their photo and film essays, documentary and narrative films, animations or video installations. Incorporating the diversity of approaches and technologies available, the unit establishes the basic working methodologies for the production and dissemination of moving images. This is the first unit in the film specialisation for students enrolled in the Fine Arts major.
