The Bachelor of Media (Screen and Sound) is designed to provide students with foundational and applied skills, knowledge and capabilities relevant to career pathways in a broad range of audio-visual, digital and screen production industries. The emphasis is on the acquisition of relevant creative and professional skills relevant to current media industry contexts, along with a sophisticated conceptual understanding of the increasingly convergent role of media and film in contemporary societies.
Through a suite of electives, students gain practical experience in digital film and sound production, animation, interaction and game design in a degree that is both ideas driven and vocationally relevant in its orientation. All students are given foundational practical experience in the thoughtful and creative application of established and emerging media technologies, while also being immersed in the history, culture and philosophy of media and film studies through a diverse suite of core and elective courses. The balance between practice and theory, film and media enables students to be at the forefront of an increasingly convergent media landscape.
This degree combination is relevant to students interested in becoming media lawyers, or in media industries (e.g. web design and production, gaming and interactive virtual environments, design and distribution), or in audio-visual production industries (e.g. multimedia or screen director, editor, sound designer, producer and other roles within video and audio production) as well as areas as diverse as film criticism, arts administration, festival programming, communication research and media marketing.
At level I students study introductory courses in film and media studies and also take a range of foundational courses in video production, sonic arts as well as a course that introduces students to foundational principles of graphic design, animation and interaction design.
At Levels II and III students select from a wide range of production and project-based courses to expand and deepen their knowledge and understanding in the technical, analytical and conceptual application of various media forms including audio-visual production, screenwriting, animation and game design. Concurrently, students continue to expand their knowledge of the histories, theories and cultures in the disciplinary courses in film and media studies. It is here that students develop discipline specific and generic skills in critical and creative thought, writing, research and presentation.
