Assessment |
|
1. Demonstrate understanding of conceptual, investigative and communicative methodologies particular to the process of scenographic composition.
2. Demonstrate an holistic understanding of the inter-relationship between media-specific elements employed in the process of scenographic composition.
3. Employ a range of computer applications at a basic level as further communicative and exploratory instruments within the process of scenographic composition.
4. Employ physical notebooks as sites for conducting and documenting the process of scenographic composition.
5. Demonstrate an awareness of the strategies employed, procedures followed and role fulfilled by the Scenographer in formulating, presenting and realising production proposals.
Conception:
1. Perception through 2 dimensions : the graphic sequencing of ideas through images.
2. Perception through 3 dimensions: understanding object relationships in real space.
3. Introduction to CAS software/ Perception in the virtual dimension; the manipulation
and distribution of computer generated forms
Reprsentation: physical and digital:
4. Representing location 1: place and context
5. Representing location 2 : object and structure
6. Representing location 3 : mapping and abstracting
7. Representing the figure 1: daily and extra daily
8. Representing the figure 2: daily and extra daily
9. Representing light: illumination and projection
10. Representing sound: acoustic and electronic
Seminars:
1. Project orientation 1
2. Project orientation 2
Tutorials: relating to production process observation:
1. Introduction to the production process. (Aims)
2. Interim analysis of production process. (Strategies)
3. Reflection and analysis. (Outcomes).
