• MS-103 Introduction to Film Studies

• MS-310 Dissertation Preparation

  This module introduces the practice of dissertation writing and research approaches for the study of media forms. texts and systems and their contribution to social life. It begins to explore the breadth of media studies through attention to the ways in which media matter. In what ways, and how significant are the media in the formation of individual identities and in the practices of everyday life? In the more public world, to what extent are media key to providing knowledge and enabling the debate necessary to the practices of democracy? The course enables students to build on their own experiences of media as consumers and users. But it also encourages critical attention to how the field of media studies has historically been forged: through argument and contestation between different academic approaches and disciplines.

• MS-311 Dissertation

  This dissertation enables students to engage in long term, in-depth research on a topic of their choice subject to the approval of the Department.

• MS-M10 Dissertation or Project

It incorporates several key themes and issues across the communications, media practice and PR industries. It is a challenging, and stimulating module ¿ both for professional practitioners and those new to communications and media practice. The module encourages students to unite theory and practice in productive ways. It introduces students to a number of important research and project management methods essential for undertaking a successful project or dissertation.

• MSS217 Approaches to Film Analysis

  This module assesses how various kind of screens function as media of representation, expression, communication and, increasingly of interactive contact. The general organising principle of this module is the use and abuse of different screens, with particular emphasis on cinematic screen. The module runs a blackboard where you can find all the relevant information, some reading and additional materials. We shall consider the general question of what is the relationship between the screen and the spectators, that is what does the screen `say¿ to the spectator, and what the spectator `read¿ from the screen. The module first analyses the notion of Ideology, ideas and hegemony within popular films to understand the film text, not as mere entertainment, but as the site where images are conveyed, and naturalized, to be ideological assumption of the world. Furthermore, the aim is to strengthen the affiliation between `us¿ and what we watch, considering the articulated relationship in the production of, seeing, hearing and sensually experiencing of the screen medium. The course will explore areas such as: ideological assumption of gender and sexuality, race, audience, sensation and new media, as ways of elaborating on the relationship between screens and spectator. A series of contemporary case studies will be used for close textual analysis and theoretical elaboration and testing across film, television and new media.

• MSS311 Contemporary Film and Television

  Contemporary Film and Television provides a contextual, theoretical, geo-political and socio-historical analysis of film and television since 1995. The module examines prevailing trends, emerging film-makers, new technologies, dominant themes, key figures and stars against a background of the evolution of the EU and its relationship with member countries and those beyond its borders. The module incorporates contextual analysis of the film industry that includes analyses of festivals, marketing, distribution and reception. The module therefore brings together many of the strands of investigation that were followed by the single and joint honours media/film students throughout their degree studies. This module is structured to apportion sufficient emphasis on the various strands of film theory and criticism, with special emphasis on concepts of European cinema and representative works and figures but also extends it to World Cinema. Subjects studied will include such themes as displacement, migration, globalization as well as an emphasis on film form that includes analysis of fractal narratives, aesthetics, subversion of genre and technological innovation. The module assumes that students will be prepared to watch a substantial number of films.
