This module encompasses all of the subjects and skills studied in the Digital Arts Subject. However, you need not use all of them for your assignment. This should be confined to using your specialisms.
Depending on your knowledge of techniques, you will use a variety of skills in image design, video and animation that are used to produce sequences that front television programmes and feature films. The module will also encourage an understanding of the function and importance of opening sequence as an overture to the production, inviting the viewer to stay tuned to the channel, as well as television company ‘idents’ – such as the BB2 and Channel 4 identities.
You will also be taught the basics of compositing, luma and chromakeying, using appropriate software, such as Adobe After Effects, although you will be expected to undertake advanced tuition in this application from online tutorials. If you already have knowledge of Adobe After Effects, you need not attend this basic tuition session.
