Introduction to the moduleThis module aims to encourage students to see contextual studies as a vital tool to develop well informed and innovative production practice in Film and Television. A programme of lectures, seminars, tutorials andscreenings provides students with the opportunity to encounter a wide range of international film and television programmes and a selection of media theories, debates and critical perspectives with which to interrogate them. The module will focus on developing student’s understanding of how critical and cultural debates impact upon media aesthetics. To complement discipline-specific studies, this module aims to provide students with a repertoire of study skills of research and enquiry, skills in visual and critical analysisof both artefacts and ideas and communications skills in written and verbal forms including the protocols of academic reference. This module is assessed by 100% coursework. Centred on the study of selected film or television programmes, students will be required to undertake two assessed pieces of work including an academic essay of between 3,000-3,500 words.Key Information1.Film and Television Cultures and Aesthetics will be delivered by a lecture, seminar, screening and tutorial series. All students will attend a lecture, and then split into groups for an hour of seminar activity. Any remaining timetabled hours outside of this should be utilised as part of directed or independent study time. Contact Time: All students are expected to attend lectures, seminars and screenings. All classes will be on Monday mornings in LC108 in the Wright Building from 9-1 pm. All students will attend lectures and screenings together in one session and will be split into seminar groups of one hour in subsequent weeks. The seminars will be student-led and will consist of small groups who will take the initiative for organising the session. Please take note of the module delivery plan for details of when lectures and seminars are to be held. Seminar groups will be posted on StudyNet under Module Information.The module leader will be available for drop-in tutorials on a weekly basis on Tuesday morning from9.45-10.45 in the Gallery Café. 2.Requirements / Support / Resources:Attendance: Full attendance is expected to all lectures, as failure to do so will seriously affect yourability to pass this module. If you are unable to attend, for any reason, then you must email the module leader before the lecture to inform them. If you have any extenuating circumstance that requires you to miss a lecture, then a written letter must be provided to the module leader as proof.Assessment: Assessment Pattern: 40% Semester A and 60% Semester B. Typically this might consist of a study folder, project, report or close textual analysis and will include one formal academic essay. Assessment rationale: All the coursework relating to this module is subject to assessment based on the fulfilment of the Module Aims, as shown by the student's ability to demonstrate the Learning Outcomes appropriate to this level of study.The student need not pass all assignments to complete the module, as their performance across both assignments will be aggregated to determine the overall module grade.An accumulated grade of at least 40% across the module is required to pass.Support: This module is supported by additional material on StudyNet. It is the students' own responsibility to take their own notes during classes and to undertake the required reading in their own study time in preparation for the seminars and assignments. It is essential for students to research and prepare independently as the lectures, seminars and screenings form only part of therequired study for this module. Students who engage thoroughly with independent study are likely to be more successful on the module. Creative Arts Module Guide 2016/17 page 1 of 12

Students are expected to view all essential screenings.The DMD for this course will be available on StudyNet under Teaching Resources. IMPORTANT NOTES FOR ALL UH MODULES:A) Any student who submits work for assessment deems themselves to be sufficiently fit and well to undertake that assessment - students may NOT later claim to have serious adverse circumstances inrespect of the assessment.

Applications should be made to the committee at least two weeks before the start of a project. Approved application will receive a protocol number and this should be submitted as part of the module submission. If students undertake work that involves human subjects without the prior approval of the ethics committee they may incur an academic penalty. Guidance on how to make an application is contained in the School’s STUDENT/PROGRAMMES HANDBOOK, HERE.http://catoolkit.herts.ac.uk/toolkit/5-ethics/D)All students are advised to read the School’s STUDENT/PROGRAMMES HANDBOOK.

Essay60%CW23 March 20171-7NOTE: The University has a policy that where possible, all summative student work should be submitted and marked anonymously (ie. tutors will not know the identity of the student at the point of assessment). However there are published exceptions to this policy for specific kinds of coursework and, given the particular nature of staff-student working and assessment methods within our School, it is recognised that it will not often be possible to mark all work anonymously in a fair or meaningful way. With the exception of those assessments ticked above (if any) - it is judged that the assessment within this module is covered by the University’s exemptions (and will therefore NOT be anonymously marked).NOTE: Tutors will refer to SCHOOL-LEVEL GRADING CRITERIA when assessing your work and determining an appropriate mark to award. You can see the School-Level Grading Criteria HERE< http://catoolkit.herts.ac.uk/toolkit/school-level-grading-criteria/ >10.Additional InformationReading List Film and TV Cultures and Aesthetics 2015-16All electronic resources must be accessed via Voyager. Sign in to Athens resources and click on the link.This is a comprehensive reading list. While students are not expected to read everything on the list you are expected to read the weekly ‘required reading’ (emboldened and marked with two asterisks). These readings must be completed before class and will form the basis of the seminar discussions as well as the first assignment. Every attempt has been made to provide electronic reading, and all of the essential reading is available either as an electronic resource or has been uploaded to StudyNet under ‘Teaching Resources’ but in some cases only printed books are available at De Havilland campus. Where reading is deemed essential and is only in printed form, the relevant chapter will be uploaded to StudyNet. This is indicated in the reading list.Creative Arts Module Guide 2016/17 page 4 of 12
