The unit is one of several under the general designation Production Skills. These are designed to offer reinforcement in one skill area to build on the general understanding developed through the mandatory units, and to enable the acquisition of a base of skills so collaborative production of the dissertation projects is possible at the appropriate professional standards. The unit is intended for those who wish to focus on Cinematography for the remainder of the course and/or those who are expecting to shoot one of the major summer-term productions. Work consists mostly of intensive and practical workshops, plus a number of projects which are to be undertaken in the students&) own time. The course adopts as far as possible an analytical approach and the projects should expose students to the various forms of problem solving (both creative and logistical) involved in the work of a professional camera crew and in studio and location lighting.
