Description including Unit Aims

An advanced piece of research involving in-depth enquiry into an aspect of cinema studies, completed under the supervision of an academic member of staff. The unit involves devising a realisable topic which has the potential to contribute to knowledge of the subject. After conducting a literature survey, relevant methodologies will be devised in order to explore a research problem. It would normally be expected that this topic would arise from work already undertaken on the programme, creating an opportunity to explore a specialist area in more detail.
