    Maintaining creativity and ensuring research : teaching creative research in film and media arts : a personal reflection
    (Edições Universitárias Lusófonas, 2025) Lotman, Elen; CICANT - Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture, and New Technologies
    Current article is a reflection of a personal journey of transitioning from an artistic research track PhD student to a supervisor and lecturer helping the others in navigating the confusing and promising seas of artistic research. In 2020, I was the first PhD student to defend my thesis on the artistic research track of the /Anonymised/ School and as soon as I had defended, I was asked to serve in the position of the head of artistic research the track. As such, I experienced the trials and tribulations of the beginnings first hand and am now in a unique position to reflect upon the challenges we faced. As I write this, the two separate tracks of research in /Anonymised/ School have been merged into one, but as the period I experienced it, they were still separate, my reflection builds upon the previous structure.

    Pedagogical experiment with portrait lighting in combination with different Actor’s intent in the case of novice actors
    (Lusofona University, 2020) Lotman, Elen; CICANT - Centre for Research in Applied Communication, Culture, and New Technologies
    Portrait lighting and acting both carry substantial weight in creating character engagement by the viewer, but are rarely researched in conjunction. At the same time both acting and portrait lighting have considerable canons that have developed within the craft system and realized through tacit knowledge. Thus, as both are fields with considerable amount of knowledge and skills, but not enough scientific research conducted yet, it makes sense that the first expansion of knowledge should be conducted through artistic research. In line with Root-Bernstein's ArtScience approach that calls for processes of invention and exploration (Root-Bernstein, 2011), the current study tested out a possible model for researching the interaction between portrait lighting and acting. The current article should be considered as an analytic report on the first interdisciplinary experiment that melded together cinematography, acting, portrait lighting and pedagogy.
