Application
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to refine digital media techniques and to develop own digital art style in a body of creative work. It involves researching different digital media ideas and techniques, selecting a technique to refine and consolidating the skills associated with this technique through the development of a body of work. This occurs through a process of research, refinement and evaluation, and encompasses animation, video and sound production.
The unit applies to those whose professional practice includes the creation of digital media works. Work could be completely digital or an integration of digital and traditional media.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
