Broadcast Media Project: Production

Overview

This module follows on from the project development module in semester 1. Students taking this module will produce a number of pre-selected student projects from semester 1. These projects can be radio, television or online/interactive in design exclusively, though interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. Students are offered the opportunity to develop specialist craft skills, in a range of disciplines and work in a structured way with industry professionals to enhance their own skillset and experience. The work will be completed to broadcast ready standard and will be exhibited publicly.
