Course Description

In this course you will investigate the methods used to produce sophisticated time-based media. This will include the use of advanced motion graphics, composited elements, text and object-based 2D animation and narrative-driven methodologies. You will also apply creative, critical and innovative thinking to solve digital production problems. By synthesising and exploring techniques of production management as part of the time-based media workflow process, you will create rich and diverse motion video projects.

Upon the successful completion of this course you will be able to:

  • Investigate and discuss best global practice in time-based media.
  • Apply advanced motion graphics, and combine still and moving images for time-based media, to resolve design-based problems.
  • Explore and apply appropriate production management for the workflow process in time-based media.
  • Identify genres and industry formats within time-based media, and develop innovative responses for a range of digital media productions.


You will be assessed on your development of the following program learning outcomes in this course:

  • Apply initiative and judgment in planning, problem solving and decision making in your practice or future study.
  • Apply a body of theoretical and practical knowledge and specific skills in media and communication, in which to base your professional practice or future study.
