Brief: To produce a film (no more than 10 minutes in length) thatreflects a knowledge of or draws inspiration from one or more artmovements and their relationship to moving image. You should notattempt to emulate the movements or techniques, but use them as astarting point to develop your own ideas and project. Your work andresearch, however, should acknowledge the related movement, artistsand filmmakers (past and present) from which it originates from. Forexample you may wish to take inspiration from the non-linear or

dream-like narratives present in the surrealistic work of Luis Bunueland David Lynch.

You must also produce one A4 sketchbook that demonstrates athoroughexploration of the many Styles and Movementsavailable. Therefore,even

:ossible example starting point

Russian Director and theorist Sergei Eisenstein suggested that "montage is anidea that arises from the collision of independent shots" wherein "each sequential

element is perceived not next to the other, but on top of the other" In the modern

media driven age, newsreel and archive footage is readily available to us. It isnow possible to re-edit footage from different sources together to create new

meanings which often oppose their original intentions (adverts for example).
