Module Description:

This is a project-based module focusing on encouraging students to develop skills for communicating creative concepts within the context of a set brief in areas such as branding, advertising, promotion, music and entertainment. This module culminates students visual & design skills, bringing them together in a new visual expression, the broad spectrum of motion design. Depending on interests and skills, students will be encouraged to explore the creative potential of their chosen direction. Students will also be encouraged to contextualise their working methods within a theoretical framework, and to refine skills of analysis/storyboarding, evaluation, conceptual thinking and visual expression.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:
LO1	Apply appropriate visual research methodologies in evaluating the design & technical approach.
LO2	Design a range of relevant ideas within the context of motion design to meet set objectives.
LO3	Employ appropriate digital tools to produce a finished motion piece in a design context as defined by a set brief.
LO4	Showcase the development of a personal visual language in the communication of set objectives.

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).

Incompatible Modules These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list.

Indicative Content
Self Initiated Planning & Style Students will be encouraged to follow a personal choice between areas of motion design such as animation, video, digital advertising, promotional walk throughs etc developing a distinctive personal style and voice.
Design Sketching and drawing will also be required to provide students with the means to develop ideas and storyboards for situating motion design within a design context.
Development: Experiential approach is expected to employ appropriate techniques & approaches to achieving their intended outcomes.
Final Project All research, development, exploratory work and final presentation must be submitted for assessment.
