This course explores creative and technical processes in video, sound, radio, web-based and multi-media productions. It requires students to develop an individual project in one of these media forms or in a combination of them, with the exception of video projects, which will usually be achieved collaboratively in a small group. Innovative linking between media forms is encouraged. This course is given a weighting of 20 units to allow for substantial creative and technical effort in the achievement of the production. The development of the project and the associated exegesis will prepare students for the transition to professional practice or to further study.
In order to participate in this course, students must complete a compulsory Workplace Health and Safety requirement. Students will receive full information on this Compulsory Course Component in the course outline provided by the school.
