Course Description

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of a selected industry and its related technologies. Through a process of observing and analysing industry practice and through personal practical experiences, students develop a broad range of skills and knowledge related to the focus area chosen for the course. The course highlights the importance of design, management and production through the production of practical projects. Students select and apply appropriate design, management and production skills in the development of a Major Project and supporting documentation.

Materials

Students are required to have their own laptop capable of storing and editing large files. iPads and chromebooks are not suitable for use in this course. 

The Adobe Creative Suite will be available for students to download and use for the entirety of the course.

What kind of practical work do we do in Year 11?

Year 11 is mainly used to prepare you for your HSC and Major Project so we will try and build your skills so that you are able to use these in Year 12. We will work with the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite which gives you access to graphic design, video editing, web development, photography, animation and all various multimedia elements. 

What can I create for my Major Project in Year 12?

You can create anything you like as long as it is considered multimedia This means that it needs to compromise a combination of various media such as video, audio, text, animation and graphics. You could create a game, an animation, documentary, short film, an app, 3D design and the list goes on! 

What needs to accompany my Major Project and who marks it?

As well as your project, you need to submit an 80 page folio and a 6-minute screen capture of the creation of your project from the beginning stages to the end product. Your project and folio are marked externally by a team of markers who come into the school.

Do you do any theory work in multimedia?

Yes absolutely! You need to remember that there is also a 1.5hr exam that you need to sit for your HSC so you need to know your content in order to succeed in this subject  as well as your Major Project.

What post school opportunities will Industrial Technology Multimedia help me with?

This course prepares students for further study in design and visual communication courses at university and other tertiary institutions. Career options include: Graphic designer, multimedia developer, animator, desktop publisher and many more!
