2. Where copyright ownership belongs to others full attribution and moral
integrity should be part of the process. There is a moral responsibility and
duty of care to those represented in the work as well as a need to follow
legal procedures. Candidates at all levels should be aware of this
requirement and refer to it in the statement. Candidates should approach
this positively and explain briefly how this has been achieved.
3. The candidate should indicate the target audience.
4. Where there is a collaborative presentation, the extent of any collaboration
should be outlined.
5. In line with all other distinction panels, the candidate will remain anonymous.
The candidate will not be identified at any level and will not be present at
Fellowship level. Although there will be no debriefing on the day, the
process of feedback will be in common with other distinction sectors. This
could include personal contact with an appropriate panel member.
Audio Visual
Audio Visual remains a still image medium within which animation and the
moving image are welcomed but are not a requirement.
It is recognised in principle that some applicants use photographs and others
create them. Applications can be wholly the work of the individual, or may
include third-party images as long as the photography is predominantly the work
of the individual. If third-party images have been used, this must be stated in the
application and all associated copyright clearances referenced. If copyrighted
music has been used, appropriate licences must also be referenced. Where
applications are the work of a team, the application must state precisely what
has been contributed by the applicant and what was contributed by others.
The application will be projected on RPS equipment at 1400 x 1050 pixels (or
1920 x 1080 pixels amend as appropriate), and submitted either as an
executable file or in a media format compatible with Quicktime or Windows
Media Player.
Audio Visual Licentiateship
The requirement is for one or more sequences with a maximum total running
time of 10 minutes. The Licentiateship is awarded for competence in preparing
and presenting the audio-visual programme(s).
This must be demonstrated by effective mixing and editing of the soundtrack,
the presentation of high quality images and/or video, and an underlying concept
that unifies the audio and visual components.
Audio Visual Associateship
The requirement is for one or more sequences with a maximum total running
time of 15 minutes. A Statement of Intent should outline the creative intention of
the work. The statement should not describe the sequence or give technical
details unless there are specific or unusual techniques that need to be
highlighted. The statement should indicate the environment in which the work
would normally be seen as an aid to interpretation.
