- 2. Feedback Why are you interested in this pathway How would you describe this area of the DTG What do you think are the essential skills in this pathway What kind of engaging learning activities could be appropriate Given what you have heard today how might this affect your teaching in this area
- 3. What is Digital Media Digital media is not just video and multi-media, it’s all the digital content that helps you to communicate with your target audience Digital media is not like traditional text-based content - it’s visual and layered, and in the case of video -time-based.
- 4. The Digital Media Student The Digital Media student works in a medium that is constantly updating. Though students may focus on a main area of study: Animation, Digital Video, Interactivity or Web, their creative solutions often cross these boundaries, or move into areas outside usual categorisation. In the role of the Digital Media Designer, the student explores possibilities, develops new concepts, and presents creative solutions to contemporary issues.

- 8. Natcoll : Digital Media Courses Diploma of animation and digital video Diploma of interactive design Diploma of web development Diploma of animation (advanced) Diploma of video post production (advanced)
- 9. Diploma of Animation and Digital Video Moving images 3D imagery Develop storytelling and design skills Learn the basics of digital audio and digital video production and the principles of animation Pathways into careers in 3D animation or digital video production
- 10. Diploma of Interactive Design Learn the techniques of: Web design Interactive design Video production Interactive game design and development
- 11. Diploma of Web Development Learn: Web programming Design and usability skills Build feature-rich, database-driven websites that are easy to use, look good and can incorporate complex features like, for example, shopping carts and auctions.
- 12. Diploma of Animation (Advanced) Diploma of Animation (Advanced) course includes animating, character design, modelling and rigging, visual effects and post production techniques. Develop art and computer graphic design skills Animation is all about capturing the essence of movement and making the unreal, real.
- 13. Diploma Of Video Post Production (Advanced) Transform film or video footage into a work of art. Whether for film, television, music videos or commercials, post production artists are an integral part of the creative chain. Making moving pictures is based around three key things: production planning (pre production), production (shooting of film/video) and post production (bringing everything together to create the finished product) before the final screening. Learn how to use editing, effects, motion graphics, compositing and more, to develop the specialised skills needed to enter the world of broadcast television, film, video post production or creative advertising.
- 14. Pathways Digital Media graduates frequently find work in such areas as film production, post production, advertising, web development and multi-media.
