Required texts
Unit materials including online tutorials, videos, podcasts, etc., are linked to in topic pages in the unit website.
Learner engagement
As this unit is run during winter semester in intensive mode, students should note that this unit has a much higher associated weekly workload - up to 15 hours per week rather than the standard 10 hours per week for a unit run in a standard semester. Please take this into consideration when considering your availability outside university.
Participation requirements
Students should be aware that engagement correlates strongly with success in this unit, including workshop attendance, and completion of exercises as drafts before workshops. Lower engagement with workshops, exercises, and, critically, lectures, will have an adverse effect on unit outcomes.
Required IT skills
This unit assumes basic computer skills, but not prior experience with media production software.
