Course Description
C6087- ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF SCREEN & MEDIA
This course brings together the skills and knowledge covered in other units and focuses upon the way these must be applied holistically to the realisation of productions.
C6087DIGIT- ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF SCREEN & MEDIA (INTERACTIVE DIGITAL MEDIA)
Realise Productions is about bringing together technical and organisations skills in order to realise a range of live productions or events. The competency CUETEM08B Realise Productions is co-delivered in semester 1 with CUFPPM601A Plan and Manage Film & Media Pre-Production.
This whole course runs over semester 1 and semester 2 and is designed to give you the opportunity to research and create two individual projects from early conceptual stages, through pre-production to the final completion of the projects. This course is based on a professional studio model and will give you the opportunity to experience situations you are likely to encounter when working in the industry. The course introduces concepts and practices of project management, which include storyboarding, animatics, timelines, treatments and technical, safety and budgetary requirements.
