| Description:
| Aims: The unit will equip students with skills and knowledge about: a) The process, principles and practice of constructing of interactive media with reference to commercial practice. b) The construction of interactive media with an understanding of design and delivery issues for cross-platform delivery. c) The planning, production, testing and evaluation of interactive media using industry standard software in a professional and commercial context. Learning Outcomes: At the completion of this unit students should be able to: a) Demonstrate an understanding of planning an interactive media project. b) Design and construct source content for use in interactive media c) Construct and editing audio material for use in interactive media d) Design and construct an interactive media product to suit project requirements e) Test and evaluate an interactive media product. Skills: Practical: use interactive software applications to create an interactive media product across at least 2 platforms employing a range of graphical, moving image, 3D and audio content, in the project. Analytical; evaluative: demonstrating understanding of heuristics, accessibility, end user requirements and commercial context of production. Content: Develop professional standard interactive cross-platform product utilising the latest design, heuristics and accessibility guidelines. Use a wide range of source material such as graphics, moving image, 3D models and animations, audio and animated material. Heuristics of user-centric interface design, information architecture, accessibility principles. Conduct task and user analysis; understand planning processes and principles for interactive media products. Use industry standard planning and evaluative tools. Blend high-level concepts with hands-on design to produce interactive products. Planning, process, and creation of an interactive media project, customized for cross platform delivery within the design constraints of the delivery mediums. Engage with clear principles of design, with an understanding of the computer as not merely the inheritor of formats and conventions but as medium of representation with its own affordances across platforms. |
