| Module Description: |
This module provides a basis for understanding the moving image design and production process: the
learner is introduced to the theories and practical processes involved in time-based audio/visual media
production. Through the completion of analytical, creative, and technical exercises the learner is enabled
to achieve effective solutions to time-based design challenges. |
| Learning Outcomes |
| On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to: |
| LO1 |
Evaluate time-based media concepts. |
| LO2 |
Analyse time-based media assets in terms of their use of space, time, motion, and sound. |
| LO3 |
Resolve motion/sound-based design and production challenges. |
| LO4 |
Present concepts, process, and outcomes in a clear and coherent manner. |
| Pre-requisite learning |
Module Recommendations
This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
