Motion | Federation University

COMMD2015 Motion

This course develops student capacity to make and analyse hand and media-generated images and expand their possibilities beyond the static to time-based media. Students will have the opportunity to explore image-making skills in the context of visual narratives, moving image design and interactive design. While the primary focus of this subject is experimentation and investigations of visual form that occurs over time, an emphasis on the relationship between images and text remains with a strong focus on producing formal outcomes. The course will develop analytical skills to aid critical reflection on the development of design work and its context. Historical and technical developments and contemporary uses of sequential art, moving image design and interactive media are investigated in the context of visual communication design.

^ If you are a continuing student who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.
