Learning outcomes

The students have a general overview of all of the current techniques used as part of the production of visual and acoustic media.

The students are able to name and use key concepts, methods and tools for media processing.

The students know the usage parameters, opportunities, range of application and restrictions of individual media and can select these appropriately based on the content, the available resources, the desired effects and the technical possibilities.

The students can name and explain the most important tools and procedures in the production of various media, describe the workflow and describe the link between their work and the work of other members of the team.

They can analyse and modify a design so it can be implemented optimally using a cross-media strategy.
