Screen Research and Writing

What it covers

This unit prepares students to undertake rigorous academic writing for film and television, focusing on the structures, conventions and language appropriate for an academic audience. Building on the research project proposed in FTV40005 Movies and Research Methods, the unit identifies the methods and procedures students should follow in order to assemble and articulate an academic argument. Students will reflect upon the research processes that underpin their investigation and justify, contextualise and analyse this research against creative outcomes. This investigation may necessitate approaches to both historic and contemporary First Nations depictions on screen from both a settler and an indigenous perspective. This unit acknowledges historic practices in production and a commitment to developing a more inclusive and conscious approach to the varied pathways to production success.
