Multimedia

Media is everything to do with how information is conveyed and communicated. Photography, Videography, Audio recording, soundtrack, music, Foley (making sound effects) editing, processing, publishing . . . 

​

Movies tend to be the final public presentation of all these disciplines to make a statement in some way.

​

At T&S we make loads of movies, we have decent equipment and software and the time has come to train a small group in the skills and disciplines of movie making.

​

What it's NOT about is stop motion video which you can do at home with simple kit and a lot of patience. This group is about working as a team to produce a collaborative media product. Stuff you can't do at home . . easily! 

 

We have a range of visual and audio equipment as well as computers and software for processing. You have lots of ideas and the enthusiasm to capture, process and communicate your ideas.​

​

You will need to be familiar with a computer mouse - just now this is the main way that we can tell a computer what we want it to do and most media is processed on computers . . . 

​

However, other skills we will develop are script writing, promotion, camera and audio skills props making, directing . . even acting.

​

We'll study how the camera needs to be operated in order to wow the viewer and not confuse them. We'll make audio recordings - yes audio is a huge proportion of the content of a movie. We'll look at animation and digital effects - don't expect a full Harry Potter movie production but we can make a start!

​

Some of the content will be based on technology you may have at home such as your own cameras /software. It makes sense for your to use this. We also have some pretty professional kit that you wont have at home.
