Major Project is the culmination of everything you have learned throughout your course. It is a substantial piece of work that will enable you to demonstrate the extent of your achievement, it will be exhibited as part of your degree show and form the basis of a portfolio for you to use to gain employment.

 

Major Project is a double module, and therefore a MAJOR BODY OF WORK. This must be evident in your submission and presentation.  You can choose to work in more or less any format you like, in more or less any role within a production.  Projects can include film/video production, music/audio, writing for the screen/radio, a multiplatform or online project, or a critical work but whatever you decide, it needs to be agreed with the module lecturers, and stated in your learning contract. You can work individually, or as part of a group, and you can choose to direct or produce, or take a crew role. Whatever you choose to do, you need to be aware that this is an ongoing and in-depth body of practical work – you will be expected to produce original, creative work and identify how that work is critically underpinned.

Throughout the process, you should document your research and working process in a journal, which will form the basis of an illustrated critical presentation at the end of the semester.
