Content
This unit introduces students to the tools necessary to represent ideas through static and moving imagery. This is achieved through a combination of research and experimentation with processes on and off the computer. Students will be introduced to techniques for composition, mark making, digital imaging, storyboarding and animation.
Practical and research projects will require students to: understand and apply design principles, create a digital composition, build an animated sequence. A research report will take the form of a concept plan and time based storyboard.
