Aims

Brief description

This module will explore the genre of music video production. As a 3rd yr specialist module, its main focus will be on taking the production of music video in its various forms. By its very nature the product and production of the visual image of music video tends to pull away from traditional forms of continuity visual narrative. It also requires a grasp of the expanding areas of postproduction techniques.   Students will be required to become familiar with the history of the music video & a range of music video genres and forms in the attempt to make their own. The module will be centrally organised around 2 practical assignments e.g. performance and non-performance of the artist as well as opportunities for exploring and interpreting visuals in relation to sound.
The lectures would be based around elements from the selected bibliography all of which are designed to develop and enhance the practical elements of the students experience of this module
