  • This paper seeks to explore the issues raised by the process of engaging in a practice-based PhD in Filmmaking.As a sole practitioner the screenwriting doctoral student is able to explore her practice through the development ofa screenplay, but what of the potential doctoral students who may wish to explore their specialist and professionalfilmmaking practices but who are unable to operate as sole practitioners, because of the collaborative requirementsof the professional filmmaking model. Using the experience of the screenwriting doctoral investigation, andparticularly the exploration of the relationship between methodology, exegesis and the creative artefact, we explorea potential model that would enable all filmmaking specialists to engage in doctoral research. Art students engagingin practice-based doctoral research do so in an environment formed by Government requirements that demandcultural, environmental and economic impacts as well as a methodology that to a large extent is formed by socialscience measures of value. Using this framework as a starting point we attempted to identify a suitable model thatwould enable filmmakers to undertake practice-based doctoral research.
