Explore the opportunities of this unique program in our School Experience Week.  Whether you’re in your final years of high school or a mature-aged student applying for entry to a University degree, this program can help you prepare for the theoretical and practical requirements by discovering what the students experience in like.

Participants will choose a study area of focus:

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.

Games

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. 

Please note: No refund available if cancelled within 48 hours of this event.

Depending on demand, a second week of workshops for Animation or Games Design may open at a later date - please contact us directly (by email: gfs@griffith.edu.au) if you wish to be notified.
