PhD research studentship: Cross Platform Media Practices.
The UK's only HEFCE funded Centre for Excellence in Media Practice (CEMP) at Bournemouth University in association with leading new media company, Magic Lantern Productions, are seeking an outstanding doctoral candidate for a 3-year PhD studentship focused on the emerging area of cross platform media practices. Cross platform practices are now impacting on contemporary media commissioning, production, reception and more traditional areas of scholarship and learning are being influenced by new theoretical responses, and this project will make a significant contribution to this area.
The project will be supervised by Professor Stephen Heppell, and the successful candidate will work closely with Magic Lantern Productions and in particular its CEO Professor Anthony Lilley, who is also a Visiting Professor at Bournemouth University, in realising defined research outcomes. Applicants will be required to take a lead from these broad areas in order to shape and define their own research:
* How does a brand, a community, a piece of screened material, a visual artefact, a narrative, work effectively on and across different media platforms?
* How do cross-platform techniques, practices and policies vary according to genre, demographic, culture and initial exhibition technology?
* How do cross-platform commissioners make aspirations and prospects a reality?
This is very much a space for the candidate to embrace, mould and inhabit through their research. We would welcome fresh approaches to the doctoral process that exemplify cross media processes.
