Doelstellingen
The Graduation Project is an integrated course consisting of the graduation film (an audiovisual work) and the essay.
Essay: The student writes an essay that is relevant for his/her graduation film and contains personal views which he/she/they can substantiate. While its subject and its questions stem from his/her own artistic practice, the elaboration of the essay must meet a number of substantive and methodological requirements specific to a master's program. On the basis of the essay a student must demonstrate that he/she is able:
- to formulate and develop a well-defined question or problem statement as a result of or arising from one's own artistic practice, experience or ambitions;
- to build and use a defensible research method;
- to identify the sources and literature that are relevant to the problem definition, to read or analyze them accurately and to interpret and process them independently;
- to coherently synthesize, express and assess existing insights;
- to develop a critical and personal positioning with respect to the problem;
- to draw a responsible conclusion from the problem definition, the literature and the analysis of the existing problem.
Graduation project: The student creates an audiovisual work attesting to a creative and critical mind, to personal style, own voice and a singular imagination and to professional standards. This graduation work is finished and ready for public presentation.
Graduates are audivisual artists. They are ready and able to enter the professional world as an audiovisual artist. They possess a wide range of creative, intellectual and technical skills to be able to enter different audiovisual sectors and creative industries. The acquired expertise and experience also enables application to various national and international post-master programs.

This course contributes to training goals VD1, VD2, VD3, VD4.

Inhoud
The graduation film is an audiovisual work that is initiated, conceptualised, produced and directed by the student. Its projection format needs to be single screen. Its length in-between 12 (min.) and 20 minutes (max.).
Toelichting werkvorm
Throughout the filmmaking process (research, development, realisation), the student must make use of the tutorials (tutoring and feedback) and the Studio program as well as participate actively in all Peer-to-Peer sessions (feedback).
Tutorials: individual meetings on a regular basis with the his/her tutor assigned by staff at the start of the academic year. During these individual meetings, the student presents the progress of his/her graduation film project on a regular basis by investigating, questioning and discussing different of its aspects in terms of research, content, form and production.
The student is assigned an individual graduation film tutor who monitors and supervises the work process by e.g.
- giving feedback on and evaluating his/her progress,
- checking whether agreements have been fulfilled,
- referring to specialized support or guidance,
- solving small practical problems, monitoring the substantive depth of the learning objectives and asking stimulating questions.
Although the student needs to make use of this support and personal guidance, he/she works to a large extent independently.
The individual graduation film tutor is assigned by the master coordinators in consultation with the teachers involved, based on the subject and the content of the graduation project proposal.
Peer-to-Peer sessions: during these group meetings in attendance of a staff member, the students present and discuss the progress of their graduation film projects. These staff-run sessions are all prepared during prior student-run sessions.

Inhoud
The completed and presented graduation project consists of the graduation film and the accompanying essay. The essay is therefore connected to the graduation film and contains personal views of the student which he/she can substantiate.
By researching and processing print as well as screen materials, the essay situates the student's own thinking within contemporary cinema practices and current discourses in audiovisual arts. It shows a clear, inventive structure and testifies to creative, critical thinking. It demonstrates the student's discursive positioning in relation to his/her own artistic practice.
The length of the essay must be between (minimum) 5500 and (maximum) 7500 words. Its form and structure is to be decided upon in consultation with the tutor/during the tutorials, and can vary from strict academic paper to free-form essay.
The development of the essay is supported by active participation in the Essay Studies.
