This module aims to build upon the production skills and learning developed at Level 1 through extending the range of tuition, facilities and specialist equipment available and the nature and length of practical assignments. This module aims to provide you with the opportunity to develop and refine your conceptual, technical and creative skills. Finally, this module will continue to combine and integrate practical and theoretical concepts by making connections with areas examined within other Level 2 modules.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module you should be able to:
1. undertake the production of two practical projects from conception through to completion;
2. display a detailed range of techniques appropriate to the production of photographic images at Level 2,
3. demonstrate a number of research skills, project management and skills specific to producing an informed body of work;
4. evidence, through practice and subsequent critical reflection the development of technical knowledge and creative potential;
5. show in writing a critical engagement with the relationship between theory and practice.
Module Content
During the first term you will be taught to use a range of specialist equipment and relevant skills, within a workshop, studio or location-based context. An example of this is the advanced lighting workshops which move beyond the basics, to provide you with an understanding of complex multiple and mixed light set-ups and techniques. You will also be introduced to medium format photography in this module. Beyond the technical, this module will also seek to develop your own personal aesthetic and ongoing practice. A visit to an exhibition or similar event will provide you with the opportunity to apply knowledge and critical skills to an examination of specific work and practices not necessarily covered in module lectures. The visit itself and the following seminar discussions provide an opportunity for you to develop your own critical approaches to individual work. Classes will examine established photographers’ methods and intentions and examine composition, format, equipment and print style. From this knowledge base, you will be encouraged to reflect critically upon and articulate a personal photographic perspective in relation to a set theme with an open brief in term 1 and in term 2 an open brief where, in negotiation with your tutor, you will propose your own project. The module will also work towards the non-assessed end of year exhibition, where you will be encouraged to assist in its organisation and through the process of editing and selection, contribute up to four images you’re your submitted portfolios.
