This subject has the following teaching availabilities in 2016:

240 hours per semester

For the purposes of considering request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Cwth 2005), and Student Support and Engagement Policy, academic requirements for this subject are articulated in the Subject Overview, Learning Outcomes, Assessment and Generic Skills sections of this entry.

It is University policy to take all reasonable steps to minimise the impact of disability upon academic study, and reasonable adjustments will be made to enhance a student's participation in the University's programs. Students who feel their disability may impact on meeting the requirements of this subject are encouraged to discuss this matter with a Faculty Student Adviser and Student Equity and Disability Support: http://services.unimelb.edu.au/disability

In this subject students apply and further develop the knowledge and skills needed in designing for screen. The projects will require students develop design concepts that meet a complex set of demands including fitting within budget and time constraints, consideration of OHS and minimalising environmental impact. Where possible, students will perform a role within an Art Department on a VCA short film project.

On completion of this subject students should be able to

• Develop design solutions in response to complex design briefs
• Document their designs to a high standard
• Operate effectively as part of the Art Department team
