This unit explores how different moving image technologies, such as 35mm film, widescreen, 3D film and virtual reality, can create different kinds of experiences for viewers and different creative opportunities for practitioners. Exploring key aspects of different technologies, such as their material, aesthetic, narrative and affective potentials, this unit combines close analysis of technological form with issues of historical and industrial change. The unit aims to develop student understanding of how the material circumstances of production and display constrain and enable new narrative and aesthetic forms.
Aims
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to:
Weekly 3-hour workshop + weekly 2-hour screening-seminar, production tutorials and practical work (both independent and partially supervised).

2500 word reflexive account of practical work (50%) ILO 2-5
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. FATV20021).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
