The Media Department emphasises Photography (digital and analogue); Moving Image (video, film, animation – with sound); and Digital Spaces (physical computing, digital installations, digital 3D worlds, virtual reality). Lecturers and technicians have the knowledge and enthusiasm to help you learn the necessary skills and insights, and to develop your ideas hands-on in our studios. You will explore the rapidly changing world of Photography from high-end studio images to social media using phone camera shots. Moving Image involves working with cameras, lights and microphones, experimenting with green screen, developing editing skills, and animation processes. In Digital Spaces, you learn in the virtual world, using digital software and hardware such as Oculus Rift; and in the actual world, transforming physical spaces using sensors, cameras, microphones, networks, screens, speakers and projectors.
