Learning Outcomes:

Students learn to apply the knowledge from the 1st part of the course to a practical example. Students: * become familiar with the differentiated realisation requirements. * learn to adapt their visual language to the required digital or analogue platform. * experience the connection between visual design, the individual design platforms such as film or photography and art historical influences, as well as the necessary adaptations required by the individual presentation platforms. * should be able to develop their own artistic, visual signature and be able to use their knowledge to meet diverse demands with innovative, visual and individual solutions.

Superior module:

Elective 2b - Conception and Production 2

Module description:

Building on Creating Visual Drama 1, the course continuation focuses on the visual translation of a story. The knowledge gained in the first part is now concretised in a specific implementation in the photographic and cinematographic context. Students work out the differences and similarities between the two platforms (film/moving image - photography) and now apply the design possibilities they learned in the first course. The visual transla-tion (framing, colour tonality, light tonality etc.) of a narration is adapted to the platform. These are digital, such as Instagram (portrait) or classic, such as cinema presentation or a photo exhibition, or analogue/digital hybrid, such as AR (Artify app) or VR.

Learning Outcomes:

Students are introduced to design thinking strategies and learn to combine it with other strategies and creative tools and techniques. Students learn to create a presentable concept that forms the basis for realisation. Students gain insights into the process of realising their concept and solve the challenge of carrying out a realisation with the means given to them.

Superior module:

Elective 2b - Conception and Production 2

Module description:

Building on Conception & Production 1, this part focuses on applying the knowledge that has been internalised so far. Students are introduced to Design Thinking as a creative strategy and become familiar with the organic change of different strategies already men-tioned in the previous course with the aim of developing new approaches for solving a problem that culminate in a large-scale concept. Students are now introduced to the production-technical problems involved in implement-ing a concept and become familiar with the various requirements and structures. Processes differ greatly depending on whether it is an exhibition, staging, performance, film or campaign. Creative strategies and tools are again used so as not to sacrifice the quality of the project in the event of compromises in realisation and adjustments. In the end, the students will have gone through the entire process once, from reflection, to problem identification and definition, to the solution approach and its realisation, with a focus on creative idea generation.
