Module Details
Module Indicative Content
This module provides the framework for initiation a single student or group project in the field of Entertainment Technology. The module aims to create an outcome such as a short film, a short animation, a short visual effects film, a full music album, a computer game or the equivalent. The project outcomes will be proposed and agreed with the academic staff.
This module is the culmination of aspirations set out in a proposal into a practical working artefact. It will be approved following discussions between the students and the supervising tutors, and after submitting the required completed ethical forms for University committee review after which work will begin on the development of the artefact. The project proposal will help to establish a working process, across disciplines if appropriate, and begin to test ideas relating to project aims and objectives set by the student team.
The individual or team will each execute an individual body of project work and relevant academic and practical research supported by regular seminars in other to achieve the goal of the final artefact.
