57121 Media Arts and Production Project Part B

16cp

Requisite(s): 57120 Media Arts and Production Project Part A
Graduate subject – Media Arts and Production – 500 level

Students undertake an original short piece of production work informed by theoretical study, based on independent research and showing evidence of their professional skills and creative expertise. The project can be in any of the following media: radio, sound, film, music, new media or web-based work, video, performances, CD-ROM and telecommunications projects.

The production project is required to demonstrate work of a high standard with the possibility of being publicly exhibited. It must show evidence that students have engaged in a lively dialogue between theoretical ideas and production practices. The project work is to be initiated in the context of the Master of Media Arts and Production, so although it may be related back to institutions and workplaces, it cannot be determined by schedules, deadlines and influences of a work-based project only.

The proposed project must be feasible to be produced within the resources available both through UTS and those provided by the filmmaker from outside UTS. It must be of a length that can be reasonably completed within the timeframe. Feasibility is determined by the supervisor.

In Part B, students complete their original media production work begun in Part A. They take the project from shooting, through editing, sound design and post-production. They are expected to screen works-in-progress to their supervisor and regularly report on their post-production. The completed project should demonstrate the student's professional skills and creative expertise and evidence of the student's capacities as a program maker. The subject is conducted by individual supervision and attendance at fortnightly seminars.

Students are required to submit critical documentation (approximately 5,000 words) of their research, production development and production process to accompany the final project. This documentation should show the student's critical relationship to their media production practice.
