As video becomes easier and quicker to produce it is becoming an increasing important medium in all areas of life. Although old, analogue film production still has an important place, these expensive practices have long since been superseded by cheaper, more versatile digital ones. And with smartphones, tablets and other small devices a part of daily life, film making is well on its way to being democratised. Now is an exciting time to think and play with film.
In this short introductory module, we will look at some basic principles of film making, explore what makes a good film, and learn how to get the most from our mobile devices. From generating an idea to working it up, producing a production plan, filming and editing, this module will take you through the process of making a film of your own, from start to finish.
This module is designed to give you the confidence to use your own devices to produce arresting audio-visual content. You may be inspired by STEM, or you may choose to engage in a particular hobby or interest. You might even use the medium to explore a new area that excites you. Since we will cover basic film making practices, the module can function as an introduction to film making, or as a primer for creating and using audio-visual material in a variety of contexts.
