This major provides a strong theoretical and analytical foundation, the opportunity to take electives in areas that will enhance the student's specialisation, and an intensive production program in a variety of formats and genres. These include film and multicam drama, documentary, and client-based productions including music videos and television commercials. Students develop skills in digital production and post-production techniques as well as associated web-based content. The major makes significant use of its strong links to industry and the professional community to engage with and mentor students. Many professional and community partnerships have been established to ensure students, academics and the members of the industry work together to share ideas, knowledge and expertise, and collaborate on the industry-focused projects that form a significant component of the teaching program. Components are delivered in cooperation with the WA Academy of Performing Arts.
