Storytelling for screen is no longer restricted to big-budget cinema releases and television series commissioned by major networks. The need for quality content across digital media delivery platforms such as subscription TV, mobile devices, internet, promotional campaigns and film festivals and events is leading to lucrative opportunities for multiskilled professionals to generate highly creative, captivating productions.
This course gives you a broad base of knowledge, skills and experiences to explore a wide range of career options within the film, television and digital media industries before specialising in an area of your choice. Early in your degree you’ll build a broad base of knowledge, skills and experiences developing technical skills in directing, camera, editing and sound before specialising in an area of your choice.
As your studies continue you’ll gain experience in pitching your ideas, audience measurement and legal issues, with hands-on opportunities to develop your skills in producing, writing, editing, sound, cinematography or directing. You’ll have the opportunity to work across genres and formats including documentary, drama, television and experimental film, and digital, web and mobile platforms. This means you will be well prepared for your future career across established and emerging formats and applications.
If you are interested in producing you may find your niche as a creative entrepreneur, learning how to generate ideas and develop them into finished productions. If your passion is cinematography, editing, sound or directing, you will develop your technical skills by producing high quality creative content.
