This module offers students the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge of film studies, in particular auteur theory, and consider this understanding through critical practice; where practical work is used to demonstrate, test and develop theoretical understanding in film. Students enrolled on the module will initially prepare an academic presentation setting out the features which characterize the director as an auteur, especially in relation to directing technique, and this will form the basis for a short production by the student which demonstrates or tests aspects of these features of authorship. Each student will shoot and edit their production with the co-operative support of their colleagues. The completed production and an essay will be submitted for assessment. The essay will be based on the research prepared for the presentation and discuss the completed production in an appropriate theoretical context. Students are not expected to have practical skills in production before starting this course.
