Overview of the module content:

This module introduces students to the fundamentals in visual storytelling through video media, from communication all the way to atmosphere, within the language and aesthetics of film and commercial video.

Students will learn about:

  • The language of film and cinematography.
  • Traditional and modern production methods.
  • Independent creation and production of their own works.
  • Development of film and video.

The module is taught through the integration of theory, know-how, and individual practical learning and problem-solving. The module assessment is based on analysis and critical review within given examples during the exam, on individual student projects, and homework with individual approach. Individual student project is based on an individual practical approach and requires students to create and write a screenplay, storyboard, and a raw footage ready for editing.

This module is not a part of the core of the study, but it teaches students how to express their ideas through key elements in video production from the concept to shot planning and actual filming. Skills learnt in this module will contribute significantly to other subsequent video modules.
