Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Successful completion of Comm2106 Media Project 1 & Comm2105 Media Project 2.
Course Description
The Master of Media Production is focused on advanced project work in a range of media production areas, principally film / television / video, radio and the web. It is also centrally concerned with exploring how concepts such as interactivity, connectivity and convergence are impacting upon conventional electronic media production.
Media Project 3 is the final of three 24 credit point courses in which this project work occurs. It is designed for students to complete approved media production projects which were presented for assessment in Media Project 1 and 2. Paralleling industry practice, this course can be seen as the equivalent of the production and post-production stages in the life of a media production project.
The work students do in Media Project 3 culminates in a series of presentations at the end of the semester. These presentations will be completed works and will also contain marketing and distribution plans for the work which may take place after the course is completed.
You will develop both broad knowledge and specific skills relevant to your chosen production roles on the media projects you are involved with. You are expected to develop both an understanding of accepted industry practice in relation to these roles, as well as explore alternative practice in both critical and creative contexts. The project work will also allow you to apply and develop existing creative and collaborative, technical and organisational skills to the realisation of your media production projects.
