Screen Technology and Culture

What it covers

This unit will prepare students to thrive in contemporary screen cultures through an industry project with a real-world outcome. Through a focus on screen production, exhibition, and reception, this unit will chart how film, TV, and screen entertainment have been shaped by changes in technology. Students will develop the historical perspective and critical distance necessary to question where screen media technologies have affirmed existing power dynamics and chart how they can be used by those in marginalised positions to challenge dominant views. Students will critique changing screen technologies and their impact on culture at a global and a local level and contend with opportunities the changing technological landscape has for change.
