This course will focus on encouraging students to develop innovative approaches towards digital video practice in the Digital Arts. The students will learn more advanced DV software that extends their ability to develop a diverse range of digital video content in their final year. Throughout the semester the students will work towards producing a major video project, which will be shown at the end of the semester. Students will continue to be exposed to a range of DV uses and will also undertake work experience with a relevant company.

Assessment is by a series of assignments, and a final presentation of the major project to the Viva Examination panel.

All sessions take place in a computer laboratory:

3 hours of seminar / studio practice per week
