| Module Description: |
This module involves students in generating an effective and detailed plan for independent photographic practice. Students are required to critically analyse the issues, themes and directions emerging in their personal practice and are required to generate a brief from which to work. Students are asked to reflect on, accept and adopt the responsibilities and work practices involved in independent practice. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
outline effective approaches to visual enquiry, critical and analytical research and rigorous planning in preparation for independent practice. |
| LO2 |
critically analyse the issues, themes and directions emerging in their own practice. |
| LO3 |
identify the concepts, issues and practices encountered through their own research and practical work. |
| LO4 |
generate a detailed plan for the independent practice, clearly outlining the project aims and project schedule. |
| LO5 |
adopt the responsibilities and work practices involved in independent practice. |
