Description

Students will continue the development of technical competence in, and broad operational of, theoretical knowledge within the specialised studio discipline. Projects relating to the conventions and techniques of Film practice, participation in group meetings, critiques, reading groups and critical reflections, documentation of all work.

FILM212 will be divided into two distinct studio projects that span terms three and four respectively.  The first project will be assigned to them by their studio lecturer and be designed to build upon the specialist knowledge students acquired in the prerequisite 211 course and direct students to an area of individual interest within the discipline. Students will engage in weekly critiques of studio work in progress and / or technical workshops or reading groups.

For the second project students will negotiate an individual course of study with their studio lecturer. Students will negotiate the bounds of this project by writing a formal Teaching and Learning Agreement, subject to approval by their lecturer. It is expected that the project, in combination with skills and knowledge learnt in the completion of prior projects, will effectively staircase the student into a more self-defined, intensive area of study within the third year of the programme.
