Abstract

This issue interrogates understandings of creative practice in screen production research within the framework of a broad range of activities that includes production and distribution of feature films to documentaries and to experimental audio-visual film genres. Screen production research here also includes enquiry into the education of future film and television professionals. The term ‘screen’ has been popular in Australia for the film and television industries, being adopted as early as 2004 with the creation of the Australian Screen Production, Education and Research Association (ASPERA) and the formation of Screen Australia in 2008. In the United Kingdom, the analogous term ‘filmmaking’ is widely employed. This special issue on Filmmaking and Screen Production Research is a joint project between ASPERA and the Filmmaking Research Network (FRN), funded by the UK Arts and Humanities Research Council. Creative Practice Research in Filmmaking and Screen Production is an anthology which highlights the ongoing work of the FRN and ASPERA, presented here as peer-reviewed research papers and a report, each interrogating issues that are central to both organisations’ activities. ASPERA has been working with educators and researchers on consolidating screen production research particularly over the last five years in Australia. The ASPERA community has produced more than 50 scholarly traditional outputs since 2014 which have significantly contributed to new knowledge in the field. In addition, the 2017 ASPERA report Screen Production Research Reporting: An ASPERA Scoping Project captures disciplinary challenges regarding creative practice research reporting and evaluation in Australia’s academic landscape. It seeks to assist researchers and research managers to understand how screen production outputs might be evaluated, and subsequently recognised as research outputs. The report highlights findings that environments for creative practice research vary greatly between institutions and outcomes of this mode of research vary greatly across the sector. The report also speaks of the extent to which these differences impact on the practices of screen production researchers. A number have changed their approach to conducting research, while others have found ways to comply with national requirements yet still work on creative practice projects that may not clearly sit within the ‘research’ parameters set by their institution. A second ASPERA report was released in June 2018. The Measuring Excellence in Screen Production Research report details how ASPERA as a peak body recognises and measures research quality in screen production. It offers guidelines and principles to assist creative practice researchers working in screen production and also those that evaluate this research, and aims to specify levels of excellence in the discipline for an Australian research context. It is intended to promote discussion and debate, anticipating amendments that respond to a community of researchers and evolving research and industry terrains. These reports are available on the ASPERA website (www.aspera.org.au/research/research-resources/).

电影制作与银幕制作的创作实践研究
这个问题在广泛的活动框架内询问对银幕制作研究中创造性实践的理解,这些活动包括制作和发行故事片到纪录片和实验性视听电影类型。这里的银幕制作研究也包括对未来电影和电视专业人员教育的调查。“屏幕”一词在澳大利亚的电影和电视行业中很流行,早在2004年,澳大利亚屏幕制作、教育和研究协会(ASPERA)的成立和2008年澳大利亚屏幕协会的成立就采用了这个词。在英国,类似的术语“电影制作”被广泛使用。这期关于电影制作和银幕制作研究的特刊是由英国艺术与人文研究委员会资助的,由aspa和电影制作研究网络(FRN)联合发起的一个项目。《电影制作和屏幕制作中的创造性实践研究》是一本选集,它突出了FRN和aspa正在进行的工作,在这里以同行评审的研究论文和报告的形式呈现,每一篇都询问了两个组织活动的核心问题。特别是在过去的五年里,ASPERA一直在与教育工作者和研究人员合作,巩固澳大利亚的屏幕制作研究。自2014年以来,aspa社区已经产生了50多个学术传统成果,这些成果对该领域的新知识做出了重大贡献。此外,2017年阿斯帕拉报告《屏幕制作研究报告:阿斯帕拉范围界定项目》捕捉了澳大利亚学术领域中关于创造性实践研究报告和评估的学科挑战。它寻求帮助研究人员和研究管理人员了解如何评估屏幕生产产出,并随后将其视为研究产出。报告强调指出,不同机构之间创造性实践研究的环境差异很大,这种研究模式的结果在不同部门之间差异很大。该报告还谈到了这些差异对屏幕制作研究人员的做法的影响程度。一些人已经改变了他们进行研究的方法,而另一些人已经找到了遵守国家要求的方法,但仍然从事创造性的实践项目,这些项目可能不属于他们所在机构设定的“研究”参数。第二份报告于2018年6月发布。测量屏幕制作的卓越研究报告详细介绍了aspa作为一个顶峰机构如何识别和测量屏幕制作的研究质量。它提供了指导方针和原则,以帮助从事屏幕制作的创造性实践研究人员以及评估这项研究的研究人员,并旨在为澳大利亚的研究背景规定该学科的卓越水平。它旨在促进讨论和辩论,预测对研究人员社区和不断发展的研究和行业领域作出反应的修正案。这些报告可在aspa网站(www.aspera.org.au/research/research-resources/)上获得。
