Course Overview
This course has been designed in response to the changing digital media landscape. The development of the digital film industry relies heavily on finding skilled professionals and graduates. While the industry traditionally required specialised areas to be catered for individually this too is changing.

With the onset of digital film equipment, content has become more and more in demand and fast turnaround of projects is essential. This in turn means that multi-skilled graduates and individuals are more in demand than ever. You will learn how to transfer your ideas onto the screen producing content for Film, TV and audio-video. The programme provides opportunities for students to hone in on their niche interests. If this sounds like the outlet you need for your creative talents, then this Honours course will give you the added expertise you need.
