Course Description

Production Project 1 (PP1) is a third year course in the professional stream of the Bachelor of Communication (Media) degree. It is designed to build on the critical, creative, technical and collaborative knowledge and skills you developed in the second year courses in Radio, Television and Integrated Media.

In PP1 the boundaries between radio, screen (film and tv) and online production are opened up, and we explore how media artefacts may be conceived, produced and distributed within a convergent media environment.

Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to

  1. Design and produce a media artefact with convergent elements
  2. Work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary project group
  3. Investigate and analyse the convergent landscape as expressed in theory and practice
  4. Evaluate and present insights into the convergent media landscape with reference to your production experience.


Upon successful completion of this course you will be able to

  • Initiate, produce and evaluate media projects.
  • Communicate your ideas effectively through the creative and critical use of relevant media platforms.
  • Work collaboratively and take leadership within teams.
  • Reflect upon, direct and evaluate your own learning.
