| Summary of Module |
|---|
The objective of this module is to develop students' skills and and knowledge of audio and video production and, through group and individual activities, to produce a short piece of video footage to a high production standard with an appropriate soundtrack.
The essential elements covered by the module include:
- A review of video production techniques
- Camera setup and operation
- Shooting techniques
- Lighting
- The storyboard
- Developing a narrative.
- Completed AV Product
- Roles of production personnel
- Preproduction and shooting
- Time code and synchronisation
- Postproduction work flow
- Recording and post-production of sound, music and effects
- AV mixing
- Preparing output for suitable delivery medium
- This module embeds the key “I am UWS” graduate attributes and in particular: Universal (Critical Thinker, Collaborative), Work Ready (Potential leader, Effective communicator, Digitally Literate, Problem-solver) and Successful (Innovative, Creative, Transformational)

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
