Screen Media Practice

This third-year unit provides opportunities for final year students to produce real world screen media projects for clients, reflective of industry practice. The unit provides the opportunity for students to collaborate in the production of video projects that may include, corporate, documentary, television commercials, promo, web, event and training videos. Past clients have included government, corporate, sporting and cultural agencies. Students will be expected to undertake the production of a screen media project for an external client. A brief will be prepared by the client and the planning, pre-production, production and post-production work will be accomplished by student teams under the guidance and mentorship of leading industry professionals. It is expected that the completed projects produced for Screen Media Practice will be an important part of the student’s professional portfolio and form a bridge between the course and the type of work undertaken on the successful completion of the degree.
