Objectives
The course is a taught, practice-based programme enabling students to acquire advanced traditional and digital photographic skills and apply them to complex, self-generated projects. This is a Professional Preparation course as defined by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Linking the course with MA Audio Visual Production and MA Digital Moving Image enables the development of Film Works, a coherent cluster of practice-based courses that explore a range of related skills including digital, traditional and contextual concerns. Students will be encouraged to explore the ways in which traditional practices and emerging digital technologies have developed new genres.
