Digital Design for Multimedia 6
| Townsville | HECS Band 1 |
13 hours lectures, 13 hours tutorials, 26 hours practicals. Semester 2.
Available to students enrolled in the BCommunication Design degree.
This is the last of the six units in the Bachelor of Communication Design’s multimedia stream. This subject capitalises on a range of design and production skills learned in previous Multimedia Design units and further expands the working through a series of projects which use a range of creative, planning and production skills. Students will move towards the finalisation of their work folios throughout this semester. Students will also explore additional multimedia scripting (lingo/action scripting) and produce complex multimedia presentations in response to design briefs. Weekly lectures will address emerging trends within the multimedia industry tracking developments in such areas as: eCommerce; digital streaming technologies for both video and audio files; interactive television and its role in the future; and programming and software changes and their effect on design and production for the MM industry. This subject further develops audio video editing skills (ie Final Cut Pro) and combines these through the use of programming and interface design software (Macromedia Director). Students will build on previous editing and programming skills to learn a series of advanced multimedia production techniques using industry standard software. Students will be encouraged to develop and incorporate their own design styles into the specified practical projects.
Learning Objectives:
- demonstrate substantial creative and visual digital techniques;
- develop innovative solutions to set design problems;
