Outline

Overview

This unit of study is designed to allow you to gain the technical skills necessary to complete the project work associated with Project 2: Transmedia Elements. Through a series of dedicated technical modules you will gain a demonstrated proficiency in a range of skills and approaches central to the production of moving image works in the transmedia context. The unit of study is delivered across a number of modes including practical exercises, technical demonstrations and applied case studies. Weekly exercises combine production and conceptual problem-solving tasks with the development of technical skill and knowledge. You will be engaged in hands-on group exercises combining practical and creative filmmaking and media authoring techniques. These exercises build upon the technical skills that you acquired in the Moving Image Production unit. By selecting three modules from an offering of five, you can further refine and specialise your technical learning. A series of dedicated modules in this unit covers the specificities of preparing and delivering moving image across a wide range of platforms including the internet, tablet based applications and mobile delivery.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

You may only use artificial intelligence and writing assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section.

Studiosity is permitted for postgraduate units unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission.

Learning support

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance: According to Faculty Board Resolutions, students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences are expected to attend 90% of their classes. If you attend less than 50% of classes, regardless of the reasons, you may be referred to the Examiner’s Board. The Examiner’s Board will decide whether you should pass or fail the unit of study if your attendance falls below this threshold.
Preparation: Students should commit to spend approximately two hours’ preparation time (reading, studying, homework, project work, etc.) for every hour of scheduled instruction.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 6 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 120-150 hours of student effort in total.

Required readings

There are no specific prescribed readings for this unit. You will be supplied with lecture notes and workshop notes on Canvas. A list of recommended texts is on Canvas.
