Professional Strand – Media Arts and Production – 300 level

This is a creatively demanding subject designed for students to produce a short media work informed by theoretical study. The work should demonstrate evidence of professional skills, critical analysis and creative problem solving. The project can be in any of the media arts – radio, sound, film, video, interactive media or performance – and students are encouraged to explore possibilities in the convergence of media.

Students direct and produce their own project work but also have the opportunity to work collaboratively. Students are also able to complete the subject by working on one or more media projects in other creative roles such as sound design, cinematography, editing, animation and web design.

This subject develops and consolidates students' professional skills, and enables students to produce an industry entry-level calling-card, showreel or portfolio.

Note that there are limits on the scope and duration of film projects to ensure that equipment and post-production resources are shared as fairly as possible. As a guide, a drama shot on 16 mm film should not exceed 7 minutes.

Additional subject costs: Students intending to complete film projects must cover their own film stock and processing costs.
