Digital Creativity course will educate students towards creating work that bridges the gap between traditional creative practices and their modern technologically facilitated counterparts from gaming, to graphic design to music and dance. It responds to the continuing appropriation of emerging digital technologies by artists with the aim of discovering new approaches for creative expression, often referred to under the umbrella term ‘Creative Convergence’.
Students will learn how to use a variety of technologies and realize assessed projects; these may include motion capture, haptic feedback, interaction design, data sonification & visualization, animation & sound design, and coding/scripting in relevant languages strictly for creative output. The practical seminars will act as laboratories to experiment with these technologies and enhance their skillsets, working towards a signature practice that primes them for the digital creative sector.
Film and Visual Culture is an intellectually stimulating degree that combines practice and theory, giving students the opportunity to both create and analyze a range of cultural texts - from fiction film and documentary, to photography and animation.
Digital Creativity and Film and Visual Culture degree is underpinned by creative and critical practice. It is creative because it gives students the opportunity to develop practical skills in the fields of screenwriting, filmmaking (drama and documentary), photography and animation. It is critical because it involves the in-depth study of film history and theory, including the way in which cinema intersects with a range of social and political issues. Students will graduate with a degree underpinned by academic rigor, but with the transferable skills needed to pursue a wide variety of careers in the creative industries.
