Content

This capstone unit provides Bachelor of Communication (Digital Media) students with an opportunity to explore and experience the ways in which a practitioner operates in a particular media industry (such as television, film, gaming, digital media, etc.). Students examine current industry processes and funding models (with particular attention given to crowd funding), developing a major project in a particular area of interest. In doing so, students obtain hands-on experience in researching, designing and producing material for a hypothetical project in a way that mirrors how contemporary media industries operate, honing key skills that are crucial for jobs in the media industries of the future.
