The module draws on the practical skills of students and augments them with the competencies required to produce a video. Assessment is divided into a first video based on a set text and then a final video on a subject of the student groups' choosing that is shown at the end of the Spring Term. The module is based in the department’s edit suite and includes instruction in use of camcorders and training in video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro.

Instruction is also provided in audio editing, colour grading and motion graphics and compositing using After Effects. This is an option choice that does demand considerable commitment beyond the allotted course hours. Please note that the video projects will be group works in order toaccommodate as many students as is practicable. No prior knowledge of filming or editing is required.

This module explores the relationship between identity and performance through a variety of artistic forms. The module will examine a range of practices from biographical drama to live art to stand up comedy in order to interrogate questions of selfhood, otherness, and identity. The module synthesises critical discourse with practical experimentation in order to better understand how and why we represent ourselves and others. Moreover, we will question what it means to have a 'self' to represent. We will examine questions of truth, authenticty, alterity, ethics, and antitheatricality. The module will begin by exploring key examples from different modes of performance (both practically and theoretically) and then, in the Spring Term, move towards developing devising skills and creating small group and solo practice-based projects. Throughout the course of the module we will not only investigate how and why people have sough to represent 'true' lives but consider the role of performance within the our everyday identities. The module, thus, aims to offer an engaging and challenging introduction to the politics of identity and performance.  

Course summary

There will be weekly skills sessions throughout Term 1 and Term 2.  These sessions are designed to help you explore beyond the taught components of your course. These sessions will include core academic skill support, but will go further into key employability skills that we have identified as useful, either through our work with students, or discussion with employers about what they're looking for. 

We will leave some of the sessions in Term 2 for you to suggest topics or skills that you'd like to cover. There is a forum below, please make suggestions of the things that you'd really like to learn/explore.  We will do our best to facilitate as many of these as possible. 

These sessions are supplementary, and optional.  But, we have designed them to support your learning and to assist you with assessments and future employability. So we really do encourage you to attend.

We will be awarding a new certificate in Transdisciplinary Skills to those students who attend 10 of the taught sessions over the course of the academic year.  In order to be awarded the certificate, we'd like you to write a brief reflection on what you've taken from the session  here on Moodle. This doesn't need to be extensive, a sentence or two will do. This helps us to explore the way that our learning connects to our broader academic experience.
