The program emphasises experiential learning – that is, learning experiences that will enable you to develop as a competent practitioner – and features two main work integrated learning (WIL) components:COMM2823:

Digital Film and Video:

Capstone Project, a final year capstone project that integrates knowledge and skills via a project-based learning experience.

COMM2695:

Media and Communication Internship, a workplace internship that applies preceding experiential learning to an authentic workplace environment.In addition to these intensive work-integrated experiences, you will engage in learning activities and assignment work throughout the program that simulate – and are closely aligned with – authentic professional contexts, scenarios and activities.

As you continue to acquire skills specific to the discipline of film-making and video production, you will also develop professional behaviours and attitudes and transferable skills such as project and group work, problem-solving, creative and critical thinking, communication and active inquiry.

This will be supported through a range of group and individual project-based learning activities and practical tasks and by engaging with peers and teachers in critical and reflective evaluation of your ideas and work.

Importantly, you will also explore the conceptual and theoretical context of this discipline.

This will enable you to situate your learning in a wider framework of thought and critical thinking, and to consider your personal ideas and practice in relation to historical, social and cultural realities.

This generalist program will prepare you for a range of employment opportunities including digital content developer, director, director of photography, online/mobile/social media producer, production manager, screenwriter, sound designer, video editor.
