Cross-platform media;

Transmedia narratives;

Convergence;

Life in media and media life;

Creativity, participation and innovation;

Remediation;

Annotation

The aim of the unit is to provide students with a thorough grounding in evolving media experiences. The unit frames the latest debates and trends in media consumption and creative production in relation to past, current and future media platforms and environments.

Students will explore to emergent issues surrounding a more fluid relationship between hitherto perceived distinct media platforms blending into a one continuous and holistic experience within a complex and diverse media environment. By the end of semester students will acquire valuable conceptual frameworks for thinking critically and reflectively about media experiences, as well as feel inspired and capable of taking an active role in their current and potential (professional and personal) role within media and technological innovative uses, productions and developments.
