There is a combination of group and individual assessment throughout all phases of production on various practical and written outputs as well as a reflective component. This course immerses students into the complexities of creative research practice and group work and requires students to actively engage with technical, aesthetic and ethical issues throughout the project cycle.

Assessment
Assessment includes both individual and group marks (production team-based) throughout all phases of production. Pre-production deliverables (45%); production and post-production deliverables including a critical reflection assignment (55%).
