INDICATIVE CONTENT
The module aims to challenge students to create content across a variety of forms and outlets with an emphasis on strong visuals and sound design. The module can be used to create a high quality show reel piece with content negotiated in line with the learning outcomes.
Students will learn a wider range of applications for audio visual work. Students will generate and pitch individual projects and crew for other students films. Aspects of sound design and psychoacoustic concepts will be delivered and experimented with by the students. Practical tasks will form the majority of the content with an aim to fine tune technical and production skills gained through the rest of the course.
