As the foundation to the MA courses it serves, the unit seeks to develop an awareness of some of the key aesthetic and narrative conventions and issues underlying screen-based material. This is achieved by means of a series of individual and group-based practical exercises undertaken to a series of closely structured briefs. The product of these exercises is used as the basis for guided critical discussion led by the Unit Leader. An important element of the unit is the completion of group-work to deadline and within tight constraints, and the presentation and critical reflection on individual and group work.
