Today we got the brief for our other project for the next two terms. For this one we have to choose one of these options:
Work
Placement option:
Students undertake a sustained period (3-4
weeks) of work placement within a media related company, or on a media related
production.
This placement should be with one
organisation.
You will be required to sign a learning
agreement stating the nature of the placement and your hours of commitment. We
will assist you in securing the position, but the onus is on the student to
locate the opportunity.
You will be required to maintain contact
with the course throughout the placement period, making sure that commitments
to the Studio Production Unit and Theory sessions are maintained.
There will be certain dates (outlined in
your learning agreement) that you cannot miss at university.
Commission
option:
Students undertake a simulated professional
project for an external commissioner. This can take many forms, but in the past
has typically been a video project for a company or organisation. Past examples
have been commercials for local companies. Promos for a rock/pop band.
Information Videos for charities. We will assist you in securing the position,
but the onus is on the student to locate the opportunity. You will be required to sign a learning
agreement stating the nature of the commission and your hours of commitment.
You will be required to maintain contact
with the course throughout the commission period, making sure that commitments
to the Studio Production Unit and Theory sessions are maintained.
There will be certain dates (outlined in
your learning agreement) that you cannot miss at university.
Professional
Case Study option:
Students undertake a sustained period of
research into a particular professional, who is working in the field the
student is personally interested in. You would be required to examine their
work, and how this relates to your own practice so far. It is not a bio piece –
you are challenged with finding out what it means to be professional through
the investigation of this particular person. Alongside this case study, you are
also required to produce a professional CV and showreel of your work.
Due to Chris and I working on the ACT Project, we have decided to take control and use this for our Commissions Unit. Chris will be editing the French film, and I'll be editing the footage from Cambridge.
