Screen Production Research “Cutting through the forest of discourse about creative this and research that, artistic this and knowledge that, Batty and Kerrigan’s new collection illuminates the crisscrossing paths leading to where two worlds meet: the worlds of film production and of the academy. It looks closely at the push-and-pull of thinking, seeing, writing; technology, art, poetics; truth and representation and performance; and suggests productive ways of being, doing and making, in an engagingly elegant sequence of essays.” —Distinguished Professor Jen Webb, University of Canberra, Australia “As the possibilities for practice-based research expand both within and outside the academy, this exciting new collection introduces us to a range of creative and industry-embedded approaches to screen production research. Batty and Kerrigan are themselves leading the way in these areas and their collection showcases a number of practices, texts and methods which will be invaluable and impactful for students and scholars alike.” —Dr. Bridget Conor, King’s College London, UK “A timely and relevant contribution to the debate within creative practice presented through a series of critical reflections on case studies that offer a valid series of alternative research methods to those more generally aligned to the social sciences; that screen production—and all that this term encompasses—is a form of research. Whilst unpacking the erstwhile troublesome definitions surrounding research practice, practice as research and practice led or based research the authors settle on articulating the value of screen production as creative practice research. All this is done within the context of the academy and perhaps specifically, current approaches to the assessment of research quality which dictate policy and funding. Focussing on data drawn from practitioner case studies rather than the metrics of the empiricists, what’s here provides a legitimate and equally robust alternative to traditional scientific measures of citations, bibliometrics, impact factor and ‘H-indices’ demonstrating that these are largely irrelevant tools for evaluating the value of screen production as research with its inherent ability to generate new and potentially transformative knowledge from data drawn from practice.” —Professor Paul Egglestone, University of Newcastle, Australia
