Film, Realism and Reality: representing the world, from revolution to the everyday
This module will introduce you to some of the principal realist and documentary movements, asking how the simple aim to ‘show things as they really are’ has resulted in a range of creative and wildly different cinematic forms. It will consider the issue as one of film aesthetics, and will trace its development historically, ranging from early cinema to reality TV, and as a global question of film movements. It will discuss the different political purposes of different types of realist and documentary cinemas, their relationship to industrial questions and state institutions, and ask how their social aims produce different artistic and formal outcomes, each of which expresses an idea about how cinema functions as a way of knowing the world and of changing it – or of keeping it as it is. -

Film, TV and Digital Media Dissertation
The dissertation is an independent research project which is the result of an in-depth study of an area of Film, TV and Digital Media studies. A dissertation gives you the opportunity to study a subject in much greater depth than usual and, with guidance from a supervisor, you will rigorously explore your topic, formulate a research question and develop a distinctive argument.
You will be able to choose between a traditional dissertation or a practice dissertation:
-the traditional dissertation is a sustained piece of independent study (8,000 words) on an area of Film, TV and/or Digital Media studies.
- a practice dissertation consists of two parts: a digital media or data-based output (e.g. data collection project, a short film or video essay or other digital media output), plus an independent critical analysis of 4,000 words.
It should not replicate assessed work in other final year modules. -

Final Design Project
The Final Design Project is the capstone module of the MA Design Innovation and Technology programme and offers you the opportunity to initiate, develop, and realise a substantial and original design-led investigation. This is a self-directed body of work that demonstrates the culmination of knowledge, critical thinking, and technical expertise gained throughout the programme. The project should respond to a clearly defined research question or design challenge situated within the broader contexts of innovation, technology, and responsible design. You will be allocated a Project Supervisor who will provide guidance and support throughout the project. Engagement with industry - through collaboration, consultation, or real-world application - is also encouraged to enhance the relevance and impact of your project and to develop professional-level skills and insights. -
