CREATE SOUND

Module Description: Digital Storytelling and Film Analysis

This module introduces learners to the principles of digital storytelling and the critical analysis of film as a narrative and artistic medium. It explores how stories are constructed, communicated, and interpreted through moving images, sound, editing, and digital technologies.

Learners will study the fundamentals of storytelling, including narrative structure, character development, theme, point of view, and visual language. The module also develops analytical skills by examining film elements such as cinematography, sound, mise-en-scène, editing, genre, and symbolism. Students will learn how filmmakers use these elements to convey meaning, emotion, and ideology.

Through a combination of theory, film screenings, discussions, and practical exercises, learners will create short digital stories while applying storytelling techniques and analytical concepts. Emphasis is placed on linking theory to practice understanding not only how stories are made, but why creative choices are made and how audiences interpret them.

By the end of the module, learners will be able to critically analyze films using appropriate terminology and frameworks, and design simple digital storytelling projects that demonstrate narrative coherence, creativity, and an understanding of film language.

By completion, learners gain the competence to perform advanced computing tasks confidently in various work environments.

PRINCIPLES OF MEDIA PRODUCTION

Module Description: Principles of Media Production 🎬🎨

This module provides a fundamental understanding of the core principles, techniques, and workflows common to various forms of media creation, serving as a foundational course for students in both Film and TV Production and Graphic Design and Animation. Students will learn the essential stages of the production pipeline, from initial concept to final delivery, and develop skills applicable across linear (time-based) and non-linear (static/interactive) media.

Module Objectives

Upon successful completion of this module, students will be able to:

  1. Identify and explain the three primary phases of media production: Pre-production, Production, and Post-production.
  2. Apply fundamental principles of visual communication, including composition, color theory, and visual hierarchy, to media projects.
  3. Demonstrate proficiency in basic technical operations related to image capture, sound recording, and digital asset management.
  4. Develop effective planning and organizational skills for managing media projects, including scripting, storyboarding, and scheduling.
  5. Critically analyze and evaluate various media forms (e.g., films, animations, graphic advertisements) based on their production quality and effectiveness in conveying a message.
