Film & Screen Media Production 

Participants will gain insights into how films are made, including the basics of visual languages and how moving images are interpreted by audiences.  In addition, participants will take part in all stages of pre-production, production and post-production in both cast and crew roles and have first-hand experience producing a live-action sequence.

Animation 

Participants will work in small groups across all stages of production - from ideation and storyboarding, through to selecting media, editing, sound and export.  Participants will gain valuable experience producing their own animation with focus on animation principles, ideation, audio-visual development and literacy.

Game Design & Production

Make your own arcade game and gain first-hand experience with the key principles of game design, development, and industry.  Immerse yourself in the life of a first-year student as you learn about the various facets of game design and development.
