Irish-Medium Film and Script Production

MA Léiriú Scannán agus Scríbhneoireacht Scripte

Earnáil faoi bhláth atá sna meáin Ghaeilge, agus tá líon na gcéimithe atá ag dul sa treo sin ag méadú dá réir. Dearadh an MA i Léiriú Scannán agus i Scríbhneoireacht Scripte, a thosóidh i Meán Fómhair 2011, le freastal ar an earnáil seo trí chéimithe a sholáthar a bhfuil sárscileanna Gaeilge acu taobh le hoiliúint i léiriú scannán agus i scríbhneoireacht scripte.

Soláthróidh MA Léiriú Scannán agus Scríbhneoireacht Scripte ardscileanna teanga do chéimithe, a fhágfaidh go mbeidh siad in ann dul go sásúil i gcionn oibre i dtimpeallacht na meán Gaeilge. Ní bheifear ag dúil le réamheolas ar Léann na Scannánaíochta agus, mar sin de, díreoidh an modúl ‘modhanna taighde’ ar chleachtas criticiúil agus cruthaitheach sa scannánaíocht. Beidh trí mhodúl riachtanacha ina dhiaidh seo ann. Beidh modúl acu seo faoi chúram Roinn Léann na Scannánaíochta agus an dá mhodúl eile faoi chúram Roinn na Gaeilge. Cinnteoidh seo cothromaíocht idir na codanna Gaeilge agus scannánaíochta san MA, maidir leis na modúil theagasctha. Ní mór an tráchtas a scríobh i nGaeilge, ach i gcás thráchtais an chleachtais chruthaithigh, éascóidh úsáid fotheideal leis an chomhairliú le comhghleacaithe Léann na Scannánaíochta nuair is gá. Beidh fáilte roimh mhic léinn pháirtaimseartha agus lánaimseartha araon. Déanfaidh an chéad dream acu seo dhá mhodúl sa chéad bhliain, modúl sa Ghaeilge agus sa scannánaíocht.

Sonraí an chláir:
Tá 6 mhodúl san MA i Léiriú Scannán agus i Scríbhneoireacht Scripte:

Dhá mhodúl riachtanacha i Léann na Scannánaíochta:

  • ‘Modhanna taighde: An Cleachtas Criticiúil agus Cruthaitheach’, a chuirfidh na scileanna criticiúla agus cruthaitheacha ar fáil atá riachtanach sa scannánaíocht.
  • ‘Ceardlann Chleachtas na Scannánaíochta agus Forbairt Tionscadail’, a dhíreoidh ar agus a thógfaidh ar na scileanna praiticiúla atá de dhíth le tionscadail scannánaíochta a fhorbairt, a léiriú agus a stiúradh.

Dhá mhodúl riachtanacha sa Ghaeilge agus sa Léann Ceilteach.

  • ‘Ardscileanna Gaeilge’, a sholáthróidh na hardscileanna teanga atá de dhíth le dul go sásúil i gcionn oibre i dtimpeallacht na meán Gaeilge.
  • ‘Scríbhneoireacht Scripte agus Léiriú Scannán’, a thaispeánfaidh réimse teicnící a bhaineann le forbairt bunidéanna nó idéanna oiriúnaithe i nGaeilge. Beidh baint ag gairmithe na meán Gaeilge leis an mhodúl seo.
  • Modúl dúbailte taighde neamhspleáiche nó tionscadal cleachtais chruathaithigh, a mbeidh tráchtas mar thoradh ann.

MA in Irish-medium Film and Script Production

The Irish-language media is a growing sector and an increasingly common destination for graduate students. Our new MA in Irish-medium Film and Script Production, beginning in September 2011, is designed to service this sector by equipping graduates with high-level Irish-language skills and training in the areas of film production and screenwriting.

The MA in Irish-medium Film and Script Production will provide advanced language skills for graduates which will enable them to function fully and successfully in an Irish-language media environment. It will not assume any prior familiarity with Film Studies and, for that reason, the research methods module will focus on creative and critical practice in film. There will be three further compulsory modules, one of which will be provided by Film Studies and the other two by Irish and Celtic Studies. This will ensure an even balance between the language and film components of the MA in terms of the taught modules. It will be necessary for the dissertation to be taken in Irish but, in the case of creative practice dissertations, the use of sub-titling will facilitate the consultation with colleagues in Film Studies, where necessary. The MA will be open to both full-time and part-time students; the latter will take two modules in their first year, one each in Irish and Film.

Programme Details:
The MA in Irish-medium Film and Script Production is comprised of 6 modules:

Two compulsory modules in Film Studies:

  • ‘Research Methods: Creative and Critical Practice’, which will provide students with the necessary creative and critical skills in film
  • ‘Film Practice Workshop and Project Development’ which will focus and build on the practical skills needed to develop, produce and direct a film project.

Two compulsory modules in Irish and Celtic Studies:

  • ‘Advanced Irish Language Skills’ which will provide the advanced language skills necessary to be able to function fully and successfully in an Irish-language media environment
  • ‘Screenwriting & Film Production in the Irish Language’ in which students will be exposed to a range of techniques for developing original or adapted screen ideas in Irish and which will involve input from professionals in the Irish media industry. 
  • A double-module independent research or creative practice project, resulting in a dissertation.


Module Descriptions

Entrance Requirements:
Candidates will normally be expected to hold an upper second class honours degree  or above in Irish (or a cognate discipline) from a recognised institution. Applications from candidates with experience in the Irish media, but without a formal Irish-language qualification, are also welcome, as are applications from suitably qualified international students (GPA of 3.3 or above in an appropriate field). All candidates will be set an entrance examination to determine the appropriateness of both their Irish-language and critical skills for this programme.
