Further details relating to assessment
The Presentation will assess the student’s creativity, analysis and technical presentation on their project and will contain an individually produced critical appraisal of the screen artefact.

The Artefacts will each comprise a short film/programme/video/social media or digital channel produced to relevant specifications, designed to test and develop students' skills in technique and analysis. The 1st artefact is delivered at the end of Semester 2; the 2nd artefact is delivered during Semester 3 (during the traditional LTU 'placement period').
