The unit follows the historic development of production technologies and how they have impacted on the way program makers have sought to represent the real world on cinema, television and computer screens. The various theoretical approaches to the analysis and criticism of actuality program formats, including modernist and postmodernist approaches are introduced to students and within that framework, the relationship between filmmaker, subject and audience is explored.
