The overall aim of the MA Film and TV Production programme is to enable students to develop the advanced screen production, leadership and research skills required to facilitate the next generation of film makers, producers and researchers.
The MA Film and TV Production addresses strategic developments in the screen industry and prepares graduates for positions in the national and international screen industries. To meet the needs of prospective and existing employees, it is delivered in full-time and part-time modes.
This programme aims to build upon your existing skills and knowledge of media production,audiences, and culture. The course is designed to help hone your research, technical and craft skills, building an industry-relevant portfolio of work and developing culturally engaged and thoughtful production work that engages in the ‘politics of making’. This is an inclusive, forward-thinking programme, creatively applying theory and practice, open to broad conceptions of storytelling and interdisciplinary approaches to film and TV production.
This MA is ideal for students who see themselves as change-makers, thinking critically and reflectively, and conscious of the social, cultural and political implications of the mediaartefacts they produce. You will be self-directed and motivated, but also keen to be part of a research and creative community, helping to build not only a media industry, but a media culture. You will be an active participant in a practice-led, postgraduate programme that is regionally distinctive and internationally significant. As you progress through the course, you will develop sustained independent and critical enquiry in concert with practice that experiments with form, conventions, languages, techniques and practices in the field.You will be assessed through activities and outputs linked to recognised industry standards.You will undertake learning activities across Northern Ireland, including seminars, industry events, historical, theoretical and innovative research, technical workshops and professional skills development.
MA in Film and TV Production students will work and learn in a context that rewards their knowledge and understanding of screen production processes as intervening in the public domain and aspects of democratic participation and citizenship. In addition, students will be able to reflect upon the ways in which participatory access to the central sites of screen production and public culture is distributed along axes of social division, such as disability, class, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, location, nationality, and sexuality.
Successful graduates will have demonstrated technical skills in the various forms of screen production; the ability to think and act creatively and innovatively in the sector; critical media literacy; and a sociological imagination with regards to screen industries and culture and their potential work within it. Students will engage with skills that are in global demand, such as production management, virtual production, virtual reality, postproduction, and fiction production.
