Industrial Technology Multimedia Technologies

Statement

Industrial Technology Multimedia at Freshwater Senior Campus is a balance of creativity, design and digital media. Our vision for our students is that they will be conceptually and technically equipped to tell powerful stories through photography, film and animation.

Preliminary Course

As a Preliminary Multimedia student, you will be provided with the opportunity to explore a variety of concepts/themes and to creatively express your ideas and story through photography, film and animation (2D and 3D) utilising a range of Adobe Creative Cloud toolsThe Preliminary year is designed to cater for all students (no prior experience is required) and thus has been structured to provide all students with the necessary foundational skills to further explore in their HSC year. There is also a strong theory component which involves: documenting production through a folio format and researching about the multimedia Industries. 

HSC Course

As a HSC multimedia student, you will be provided with much greater freedom and flexibility to explore your own interests and passions as you embark on the Major Project. The HSC major project is a year-long project which showcases your conceptual and technical ability to create media production which addresses a chosen topic/theme/problem. This can be and not limited to a combination of forms including: photography, film, animation, graphic design, web design, app design, desktop publishing, social media design, virtual reality, augmented reality and more. There will also be a HSC written exam which will focus on multimedia elements, intellectual property and the industry (visit to Adobe Sydney Office).
