Module Handbook

BA CONTEMPORARY MEDIA PRACTICE

2024-2025

College of Design, Creative and Digital Industries

MODULE OUTLINE

This module establishes the interrelationship between media theory and practice by introducing theoretical and conceptual frameworks that underpin creativity in the contemporary media arts industries. This interconnectedness is reflected in the assessment structure, which comprises an interdisciplinary Storytelling Project (70%) and a Written Essay (30%) to be chosen from a series of questions based on themes and debates addressed throughout the module. As such, the module develops key academic and creative skills for critical research and analysis.

MODULE AIMS

•    To contextualise creative media arts socially, politically and culturally.

•    To develop a critical understanding of media creativity and the important

relationship between media arts practice and theory in conceptual development.

•    To introduce students to a range of key creative technologies for interactive media practice, photography, and web media.

•    To develop an understanding of storytelling through image, sequence and interactive narrative.

•    To develop the ability to research and communicate critically and analytically.

•    To develop collaborative skills and visual and verbal communication skills

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

Teaching and learning methods

Indicative teaching and learning methods (with typical scheduled / supervised time for each student):

-    Lectures and seminars introduce key ideas and debates

-    Group and individual tutorials support students in completing the set tasks

-    Presentations of research enable students to share learning

-    Completion of the ICMP Project through the use of supervised technical facilities and/or work on location but will vary according to individual need.

In addition to scheduled sessions, students are expected to undertake creative and contextual research, including set readings, during their self-managed study time. The approximate balance between taught activities is shown in the table below.

*the hours per activity type are indicative and subject to change.
