Description
Learn about global cinema from a design perspective. In this subject students watch and analyse films from across the globe, building their understanding of cross-cultural design. Students build their design approach and vocabulary by synthesising and presenting key design ideas found in films. The format of the class is screenings and seminars led by guest film experts.
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
| 1. | Understand the role of cinema in global design culture |
|---|---|
| 2. | Develop a practical understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration in design writing |
| 3. | Plan and execute research in a professional manner |
| 4. | Improved group work skills and appreciation of team rolls |
| 5. | Undertake advanced reflective practice |
Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
The term CAPRI is used for the five Design, Architecture and Building faculty graduate attribute categories where:
C = communication and groupwork
A = attitudes and values
P = practical and professional
R = research and critique
I = innovation and creativity.
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs) are linked to these categories using codes (e.g. C-1, A-3, P-4, etc.).
Teaching and learning strategies
Teaching and learning activities occur in block-mode intensives and employ design-based learning methods, inlcuding research through design.
The curriculum uses project-based group learning activities to provoke participatory discussions and encourage multidisciplinary teamwork. For this reason the subject use a progressive, sequential project-based approach to design. All students are expected to follow suggested learning patterns and activities detailed in the studio specific learning guide, and are also encouraged to participate actively in the group discussions that occur during the studio sessions.
Students gain weekly verbal feedback which they then use to update their work progressively throughout the studio. It is therefore vital for students to complete the preparation work to receive useful formative feedback from peers, tutors and industry professionals. All assessments will be graded in ReView. ReView will be used as a formative feedback mechanism.
