Screen Arts Critical Frameworks

Students become competent in situating their work within research methodologies and principles to support their development as critically-informed creative practitioners. Students learn to frame and present their creative practice as research via the development of critical reflexive and analytical skills, and to engage in the development of a research proposal for their advanced production project.

Course notes

Students receive training in research methodologies and principles, enabling them to position their work within a research framework, fostering their development as critically informed creative practitioners.

Throughout the course, students not only learn to frame and present their creative practice as research but are also encouraged to develop a research portfolio. This portfolio, consisting of their explorations and findings, contributes to their advanced production project. This comprehensive approach equips students with critical reflexive and analytical skills, allowing them to engage in the formulation of a research proposal for their advanced production project.
