This module introduced the research techniques underpinning effective media production, covering both qualitative and quantitative approaches. It explored how to frame research questions, gather and analyse data, and apply findings to creative projects — establishing the critical foundation for evidence-based practice.
This module examined how audiences move from passive consumers to active participants in media. It explored interactive formats, co-creation, and participatory design, considering how digital platforms and emerging technologies shape engagement, authorship, and community involvement.
This module situated media production within the wider creative economy. It investigated how cultural value is created, measured, and contested, alongside the industrial, economic, and policy contexts that shape creative work — encouraging a critical understanding of the sector I was preparing to enter.
This module focused on the grammar of moving image — how framing, editing, sound, and visual composition construct meaning on screen. Through analysis and practice, it developed the ability to read, critique, and produce screen content with intentional visual storytelling.
This module explored photography as both a technical craft and a cultural practice. It examined the role of images in shaping meaning, identity, and society, while developing practical skills in composition, lighting, and visual narrative.

This module prepared students for working within the media industries. It covered professional workflows, collaboration, project management, ethics, and career development — equipping students with the practical and business awareness needed to operate as media professionals.
This capstone module brought together the skills and knowledge developed across the course. It involved the planning, production, and delivery of a substantial media project, supported by research and critical reflection — serving as the culmination of my two years of study.
