This module immerses you in a simulation of the roles and processes of television post-production and marketing. You will acquire specific technical and creative skills through experiencing different roles in the post-production and marketing processes, and learn how those roles and departments collaborate to create television content. The module will give you the opportunity to explore and experience the processes through which artistic, technical and commercial skills come together to shape the television show. In the post-production phase, you will experience a role or roles that include above-the-line roles such as producer, director, editor, sound designer and VFX, and also the roles of editing assistants. The creative and technical skillsets of these roles include editing, sound design, data management skills and market research. The use of industry standard documentation and software packages will be taught for each role. The use of industry standard editing software, colour grading and post-production sound design software will be taught for each role and process. In the marketing phase, you will experience a role or roles involved in the marketing and promotion of the “show”, including the production of a trailer and a marketing strategy that includes online promotional activity. The use of industry standard software and documentation will be taught throughout this process. In addition to teaching the creative and technical skills specific to each role, the module also teaches how the roles, departments and processes of each stage interact and collaborate to shape the television show.
