In this course focusing on creating digital video content and its application in live performance events – and also exploring the potential to develop VR and AR design – you’ll work as a key creative in live and virtual productions alongside professional video supervisors. Take a deep dive into producing immersive video designs for live and virtual performances that stir the imagination of audiences and push the limits of technical possibility.Throughout this course, you’ll create content for video and examine video mapping techniques while learning a variety of related technical production skills. Depending on your specialism – which you’ll have the freedom to really explore here – you have the opportunity to develop work that encompasses augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies.

You’ll also be introduced to the industry through placements during both years of your training, helping you to forge links for future employment.Collaboration is at the heart of this course. In your RWCMD placements or on those with our industry partners, you’ll learn about different creative disciplines and get a real feel for what it’s like to be a member of a production support team – all in readiness for life after graduation.The course ends with a public exhibition of your cohort’s work in Cardiff and then for four days on London’s South Bank, which includes an industry night for an invited audience of potential employers.
