          Abstract

          When teenagers are given access to digital media equipment, their teachers and film club leaders may hope that they will take the opportunity to make films of personal significance. Instead, young people often choose to engage in a parodic dialogue with popular culture, in a process which feels more familiar and/or comfortable to them, providing as it does a creative space unburdened by expectations of sincere expression. From a survey of numerous short films made in Scotland, it is evident that the use of pastiche and parody facilitates both progressive and reactionary perspectives, often within the same film. Exploring a series of detailed case studies of films made by young people in Scotland in the early 2000s, this article argues that parody can provide for young people an aesthetic distance from personal expression, which, ironically, is unexpectedly revealing of generalised teenage sociocultural attitudes.

            Exploring co-creation in practical film education from primary school to postgraduate study: Theoretical and auto-ethnographic perspectives upon teaching film practice

            Considering the emergent discourses around film education, there has been little discussion to date of co-creation : that is, how student practical film work might be mediated by, collaborated upon, or even contributed to, by those teachers, instructors, lecturers and practitioners assisting them in the process. This study explores the thorny question of co-creation through a series of case studies, employing an auto-ethnographic approach to reflect upon first-hand experiences of film education at primary, secondary, undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
