Course Description
This course provides you with the opportunity to explore specialised and emerging imaging technologies and advanced image editing techniques, using both the still and moving image.
You will investigate the ethical considerations involved with photo manipulation while developing practical techniques to manipulate images to achieve desired results. You will evaluate a broad range visual narrative styles, as used in the global media and communication industries. You will develop the knowledge and skills to utilise imaging technologies and techniques to construct specific visual messages to target specific audiences.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
In this course you will develop the following program learning outcomes:
- Utilise advanced photographic technical skills to construct imaging outcomes for industries including advertising, documentary, fashion and technology.
- Apply a body of theoretical and practical knowledge and specific skills in the discipline in which to base your professional practice or future study.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Critically discuss ethical considerations of digital manipulation of visual data.
- Investigate advanced imaging workflows and manipulation techniques used by the media and communication industries.
- Develop conceptual strategies for refining visual communication narrative for target audiences.
- Apply advanced image editing skills in the production of images to meet conceptual objectives.
- Make effective use of digital presentation and publishing skills to visually communicate ideas and concepts.
