We're finding that the new two-unit structure is making it much easier to make explicit links between theory and practice.
I'm now running the coursework module on my own, while my colleague Laura gets stuck into teaching textual analysis and representation via British TV drama.
On the coursework side, one of the main changes has been the introduction of a preliminary task. This allows students to try out new technologies and techniques, while also ensuring that everyone has to have a go at shooting and editing a basic video sequence.
The classes have almost finished theirs, and I'll post them to You Tube shortly. Some of them are showing real flair and I'm looking forward to seeing how they get on with the main task of making the opening title sequence and scene to a film of their own creation.
It's great that everyone has had first-hand experience of the film-making process, although it's been more time consuming than I had anticipated.
Hopefully, I'll get some samples up later this week.
