Photography in Film

Module Aims
This module aims to analyse and evaluate the ongoing and future relationship between photography and film by focusing on a range of filmic representations that use the photograph, photographers and the photographic process as a key part of their narrative.

Intended learning outcomes:
By the end of the module you should be able to:
1.  analyse the relationship between the moving image and the still image as they occur in filmic representations;
2.  demonstrate an informed understanding of the narrative, iconic and symbolic power of photographs as part of film’s narrative strategies;
3.  evaluate the range of representations of photographers in film and identify common themes, structures, forms and patterns and discuss the merging of still and moving images;
4.   draw upon your theoretical and practical experience with photography to situate theses filmic representations as part of the history of image-making.

Assessment:
Written work to the value of 5000 words (100%).
1. Essay 1 (2500 words, 50%) will require you to analyse in detail a film screened in the first term through a set of prescribed questions (Learning outcomes 1and 2).
2. Essay 2 (2500 words, 50%) will require you to choose a title that will explore aspects of film narrative, genre, and spectatorship in relation to how the photographer, the photograph or the photographic process is represented. The essay title will have to be agreed with your tutor on completion of an essay proposal form (Learning outcomes 3 and 4).

Documenting the Real

Module Aims:

The module aims to integrate theoretical concepts within practical production and develop your photographic techniques, creative skills and understanding relevant to documentary image making. The module also aims to provide a focused study of the key movements and debates, to examine major figures and examine how documentary photography continues to have relevance to contemporary practice.

Teaching and Learning Strategies:
The module will be taught with a combination of lectures, practical workshops, practical individual and group exercises, seminars and tutorials. Where appropriate specialist workshops or lectures will be offered by visiting practitioners who will examine their own work within the context of the module’s aims.
