Producing Film and Television (W51230) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 1 Core Dr Julian Stringer Autumn 2 hour exam (50%); 2,000 word portfolio (50%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 2 hours duration Workshops - 1 per week, 3 hours duration

Summary This module is designed to engage students with a series of perspectives on certain aspects of the narrative histories of film and television, from their origins to the present day. This is a period of well over a hundred years which saw a series of significant transitional moments in production histories. The module will look at such moments as the coming of sound, the rise and demise of the Hollywood studio system, and the emergence of the network system. It will ask what transition means at different historical moments by raising a number of questions such as: What are the industries producing at these moments and why? How are the industries doing this? How are the cultural products marketed and distributed? The module is also designed to introduce historical method and the idea of historiography. To this end, the course will provide examples of different critical approaches to film and television history and interrogate some of the key debates around the periodization of that history. In each case, specific case examples and materials will be used to examine the various kinds of evidence used by film and television historians and the particular forms of knowledge these produce.

Consuming Film and Television (W51224) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

10 1 Core Dr Mark Gallgher Spring 2,000 word essay (100%) n/a Workshops - 1 per week, 3 hours duration

Summary This module engages students with the intellectual and historical questions surrounding the consumption—viewing and listening, in public and private environments including theatres, homes and more—of film, television and other screen media. The module addresses critical paradigms and cases surrounding different viewing contexts, including public spaces such as cinemas, private spaces such as homes, and emerging hybrid spaces. The module addresses too the international variations among viewing environments and experiences, along with censorship and other regulatory practices that relate to media consumption. To understand not only consumption environments but also media users, the module conceptualises and investigates screen audiences, addressing key oppositions such as active vs. passive and mass vs. fragmented audiences. The module exposes students to historical as well as contemporary cases, with each week offering one dialectic (e.g. public vs. private) and one case study for consideration. Students completing the module should gain an understanding of how screen media offer not static texts but components of experiences dependent on consumption environments and on audiences' attitudes, cultural backgrounds and other activities.

Communication and Culture (V91COM) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 1 Optional Dr Hongwei Bao Autumn 1,500 word essay (30%); 3,000 word essay (70%) n/a Lectures - 1 per week, 1hr 30mins duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1hr 30mins duration

Summary This module surveys the field of communications theory and provides an introduction to the key methodologies and topics of cultural studies within the context of contemporary life. Students will be introduced to key theoretical approaches to the communications process and encouraged to develop literacies across a wide range of visual and written sources, including advertising, TV, and journalism. Students will also be encouraged to assess the gains and shortcomings of particular theoretical models and to consider the processes that obstruct and frustrate the ambition of establishing clear channels of communication. The module also introduces approaches to cultural studies through the following key themes: 'high' versus 'popular' culture; race and ethnicity; feminism, Marxism and postmodernism; and the Internet.

Media and Society (V91INT) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 1 Optional Dr Liz Evans; Dr Cathy Johnson Autumn 1hr 30mins exam (70%); 1,500 word essay (30%) n/a Lectures - 1 per week, 2 hours duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration

Summary This module explores communication processes in an international context outlining key imperatives (e.g. technology, mobility, economics, space/time compression, cultural difference, ethics and conflict) which impact upon the way we understand each other across the new (highly mediated) communications landscape. Particular attention will be paid to transnational media texts and audiences and the emergence of what has been termed 'the network society'.

10


Communication and Technology (V91TEC) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 1 Optional tbc Spring 1hr 30mins exam (50%); 2,000 word essay (50%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration Workshops - 1 per week, 2 hours duration

Summary This module takes a detailed look at debates around the impact of new information and communications technologies (such as the internet, digital TV, mobile and wireless communications) upon processes of communication. Particular attention will be paid to the social, economic and political implications of information communication technology (ICT) adoption (the emerging 'digital divide' between the information rich and poor) and to the issue of human-machine interaction (exploring the reshaping of communication forms and practices together with notions of posthumanism and cyberbodies).

11


Cultures of Everyday Life (AA1052) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 1 Optional Dr Tracey Potts Spring 1hr 30mins exam (50%); 2,000 word essay (50%) n/a Lectures - 1 per week, 2 hours duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration

Summary Our daily lives are filled with 'realities' and phenomena that exceed our abilities to account for them: we might order a headstone on the way to Sainsbury's or be mesmerized by a carrier bag blowing in the wind; we may spend much of our time bored or dreaming of winning the lottery. While we may take the idea of the everyday for granted, associating it with routine, familiar and repeated experiences, our everyday lives are, simultaneously, punctuated by the exceptional, the random and the disruptive. Traditional theoretical attempts to account for the everyday tend to overlook aspects of daily life that refuse system and order: sociology, anthropology, cultural and media studies, for example, deal with activities such as work and leisure but neglect the unique texture of everyday experience. This module thus emphasises the everyday world as fraught with difficulty (in terms of seeing, theorising and representing), and looks at a wide range of attempts to register day to day existence from the modernist novel to photography to film to time capsules to poetry to video diaries to comic books.

Transnational Media (W52205) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Core Dr Mark Gallagher Spring 1,500 word essay (30%); seminar participation (10%); 2,500 word essay (60%) n/a Lectures - 1 per week, 3 hours duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration

Summary This module builds on approaches to national cinema introduced in first-year film modules. It looks at recent understandings of post-national and transnational media, and specifically considers the flows of people, media, technology, ideas, and finances among nations. The module addresses in particular global media interactions emerging from tensions between cultural homogenisation and heterogenisation. The module presents foundational theoretical material on transnational media and will include weekly case studies for students' consideration and analysis. Case studies include particular historical and contemporary manifestations of flows of global culture.

14


Film and Television in Social and Cultural Context (W52206) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Core Dr Alex Simcock Full Year 1,500 word essay (40%); participation (10%); 2,500 word essay (50%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration Workshops - 1 per week, 4 hours duration

Summary This module builds upon approaches to textual analysis introduced in Year 1 core modules by engaging with specific consideration of individual texts placed within their social and cultural contexts. It also builds upon themes of industry, audience and the contested nature of media practices considered in Year 2 core modules so as to demonstrate struggles over cultural meanings and values. Within these terms of reference, the module historicizes the ways in which meaning is made through the material circulation of film and television programs and the social practices of movie going and television consumption.

15


Understanding Cultural Industries (W52207) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Core Prof Paul Grainge; Dr Cathy Johnson Autumn 2,500 word essay (60%); participation (10%); Group presentation (40%) n/a Lectures - 2 per week, 4 hour duration and 3 hour duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration

Summary We tend to think of films and television programmes in aesthetic and artistic terms: the way particular texts may tell us stories, present us with larger than life performers, or inform us about the world. However, films, television programmes and other kinds of popular media are produced, distributed and marketed using the techniques and strategies of modern industry: show business is just as much about the business as it is the show. This combination of 'art' and 'industry' has long sparked debate about the status of the 'Cultural Industries' and the way that art and commerce intermingle. This module explores the complex way that cultural industries function, examining a series of dynamics that help us understand how media texts take the form they do. Specifically, it asks how modes of cultural production have changed in different contexts and periods. What role does advertising play in the life and design of film and TV products? How does market research shape the products that are made and the kinds of audience that are catered for? How do technological or legislative developments influence the way that products of the cultural industries are produced, distributed and consumed? This module will provide an introduction to these and other questions, drawing upon a range of case examples from the film and television industry, and offering students the chance to develop and pitch their own show.

16


Researching Culture, Film and Media (V92REC) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Core Dr Ian Brookes Full year Two 2,500 word research portfolios (50% each) n/a Lectures - 2 per week, 4 hour duration and 3 hour duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration

This module will introduce students to the key issues and approaches at stake in culture, film and media research, familiarising them with a sample of qualitative and quantitative methods for investigating interdisciplinary research topics. Students will be expected to identify their own topic of research and to select and reflect upon the appropriateness of particular methods to their subject.

17


Interrogating Practice (W52208) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Core Dr Ian Brookes Spring 1,500 word essay (40%); participation (10%); 2,500 word essay (50%) n/a Workshops - 1 per week, 5 hours duration

Summary This module builds upon approaches to historical research introduced in Year 1 core modules by engaging with specific techniques, practices, and processes of film and television cultural production. It also builds upon themes of media form and critical understanding developed in Year 2 core modules so as to develop through practical example communication and analytical skills. Within these terms of reference, the module investigates the ways in which film and television cultural artefacts are constructed at a material level as well as the contexts of production, circulation and consumption within which they are inserted.

18


Political Communication, Public Relations and Propaganda (AA2200) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Optional Dr Jen Birks Spring 2 hour exam (70%); 1,500 word essay (30%) n/a Lectures - 1 per week, 2 hours duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration

Summary The module explores the evolution of political communication from the turn of the 20th century and considers its links to the emergence of modern public relations. Starting with the influential work of Edward Bernys, who is widely considered as the father of modern public relations, we will consider how PR has developed and how its tactics and practices have increasingly been co-opted by modern politicians. This will encompass an examination of the various promotional strategies employed by political parties in campaign cycles and during non-election periods, which are sometimes described as news management and 'spin'. This module will also look at the history of modern propaganda campaigns from their early origins during the First and Second World Wars, through to more contemporary examples.

19


Cultural Politics (V92CUP) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 2 Optional Dr James Mansell Autumn 1hr 30 mins exam (40%); 3,000 word essay (60%) n/a Lectures - 1 per week, 1hr 30mins duration Seminars - 1 per week, 1hr 30mins duration

Summary This module develops the political dimension of theoretical approaches to culture and communications. Looking at everyday forms and practices, the course highlights the ideological investments in questions of cultural value. Concentrating on race, class, gender, disability and sexuality as areas of inequality which shape, and are shaped by, cultural and communications practices, the course emphasizes the power dynamics at play in processes of cultural production, consumption and control. The programme moves from macro to micro approaches to culture beginning with broad questions around ideology, power and resistance and ending with the particulars of everyday strategies and tactics.

The Blockbuster (W53114) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 3 Optional Dr Julian Stringer Spring 1,500 word essay (40%); participation (10%); 2,500 word essay (50%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration Workshops - 1 per week, 4 hours duration

Summary This module asks the deceptively simple question "What is a blockbuster?" By considering a number of historical case studies, we shall treat the phenomenon within a diverse range of contexts. Where does the term "blockbuster" come from? To what type of films has it been applied? Are blockbusters a product of "New Hollywood" or did they originate in the classical period? Why are blockbusters so successful, financially, culturally and emotionally? What social value may such films possess? What conditions are necessary for its success? To what extent is the blockbuster an "international" form?

24


Screen Encounters: Audiences and Engagement (W53121) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 3 Optional Dr Liz Evans Autumn 2,500 word essay (50%); 3,000 word essay (50%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration Workshops - 1 per week, 3 hours duration

Summary This module will explore the multiple relationships that audiences (viewers, users and/or players) have with screen media (film, television, gaming and/or digital media) and the relationship between media and daily life. It will consider engagement with screen media as experience and consider the textual, social, political and historical factors that shape that experience. Indicative topics may include (but are not limited to) pre-cinematic forms of moving image, the changing nature of cinema space, the domesticity of television, homes cinema, the role of marketing systems in constructing audience engagement, new media technologies and experimental forms of screen media. Students will develop both a theoretical framework for investigating audiences as well as having the opportunity to develop skills in empirical audience research. As a result they will develop an understanding of the relationship between screen media and those most important to the film, television and video game industries: their audiences.

25


Video Production Project (W53204) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites

Delivery

20 3 Optional Dr Gianluca Sergi Spring Project portfolio, including production log, production documents project report, and reading response papers (20%); production of 10 minute video (80%) Students will be required to demonstrate their interest in practical filmmaking and any experience they have of working in a team (the latter does not have to be related to filmmaking). Lectures - 1 per week, 2 hours duration Workshops - 1 per week, 2 hours duration

Summary This module will apply historical and theoretical investigations of film and television culture to the art and craft of video production. The module will offer students the opportunity to apply their theoretical study to lab assignments that will acquaint students with the basics of filming, editing and sound recording. An important aspect of the class will be to investigate the ways in which production can serve as a vital site of cultural criticism: how the myriad decisions made in sound and image production are used to create meaning. The module will thus combine the historical and theoretical investigation of film and television culture with training in the basic skills of video production.

26


The New Hollywood (W53205) Credits Level Core/optional Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 3 Optional Prof Paul Grainge Autumn 2,000-2,500 word essay (50%); 1,000-1,500 word essay (40%); participation (10%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration Workshops - 1 per week, 3 hours duration

Summary This module examines the industrial and aesthetic transformations that inform critical notions of the "New Hollywood." The term has been used to refer to two distinct historical periods—the period circa 1967-1975 that encompasses the American film industry's major contraction and re-expansion, and the period from 1975 onwards characterized by corporate acquisitions and blockbuster production and marketing. This module looks in particular to the first conception of the New Hollywood, focusing on the 1960s and 1970s cinema of Hollywood and its cross-pollinators to deepen understandings of the foundations of contemporary film industries and film culture. Focusing upon key changes in the production and consumption of film since the mid1960s, the module considers different conceptions of New Hollywood, from the European-influenced 1960s modernist art cinema to the emergence of the corporateera "New New Hollywood" after the 1970s. Critically, the module considers issues of historical periodization, focusing on conceptions of old and new and pivotal terms such as "post-classicism." In doing so, the module explores a number of key developments in contemporary American cinema: the rise of the so-called Hollywood auteur, genre revisionism, developments in Hollywood style, cinema and representation, evolving cinemagoing demographics, corporate industry practice, and the cultural politics of Hollywood film.

27


Hearing Cultures: Sound, Listening and Everyday Life in the Modern World (V93ACS) Credits Level Module Convenor Semester offered Assessment Pre-requisites Delivery

20 3 Dr James Mansell Autumn 3,000 word essay (60%); 2,000 word (total) weekly research diary (40%) n/a Seminars - 1 per week, 1 hour duration Workshops - 1 per week, 2 hours duration

Summary This module introduces students to the cultural and social role of sound and listening in everyday life. Scholars have argued that, since the Enlightenment, modern societies have privileged sight over the other senses in their desire to know and control the world. But what of hearing? Until recently, the role of sound in everyday life was a neglected field of study. Yet Jonathan Sterne argues that the emergence of new sound media technologies in the nineteenth century — from the stethoscope to the phonograph — amounted to an 'ensoniment' in modern culture in which listening took centre stage. Beginning with an examination of the relationship between visual and auditory culture in everyday life, this module introduces a variety of cultural contexts in which sound played an important role, including: how people interact with the sounds of their cities; how new sound technologies allowed people to intervene in everyday experience; why some sounds (such as music) have been valued over others (such as noise); the role of sound in making and breaking communities; the role of sounds in conflict and warfare; and the importance of sound in film and television from the silent era onwards. We use a variety of sound sources, such as music and archival sound recordings, in order to understand the significance of sound in everyday life from the late eighteenth century to the present.
