Module Indicative Content
You will have the opportunity to work within a small team to complete a short animation in a range of disciplines from 2D / 3D and Stop motion. (The brief may be issued by a 'live' client)
The essential learning experience this module offers is a critical and focused understanding of the range of requirements within the animation industry and how time management and achievable goals must be set to reach an outcome to professional broadcast standards working within a small group.
The module is designed to allow you to develop with others, an entire design brief within strict guidelines of time content format, to clearly specified outcomes for a pre designated audience. (i.e. Learn Direct / Bmi Baby / Citv etc )
A fundamental aspect will be the ability to identify a methodical design process in the production cycle of the brief
There will be a short visual report to accompany the module to describe the processes undertaken and carried through to completion for the firm including a full costing and schedule breakdown.

Lectures Delivered to the cohort at the outset of the module
Team sessions to gauge progress in the concept development and achievability of the project
Independent Study in support of your project work. You will need to undertake a. number of activities when not involved in taught or
participation sessions. These will include researching and documenting your practical project; pre and post production work for your
project; the execution of the production and the preparation of your work for assessment.
Work checks to be written in the module handbook.
Tutorials these will be arranged at appropriate times during the module
