Description:
As part of the course, students learn about the use of augmented reality technology and the process of creating audiovisual material from concept, through production, to post-production. They will learn about pre-production, production, and image broadcasting stages. Students will understand what is essential in the various stages of production, the problems encountered during the shooting period, and the critical tasks involved in producing an augmented reality video. Students will learn the defining elements of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). They will become familiar with the hardware and software used to produce this image. They will learn the typical roles of staff members creating VR, AR, and MR content. Students will become familiar with example processes that effectively analyze the differences between augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality. They will learn how the process of combining different models of image narrative, the intersection of these techniques within new media, and the blurring of boundaries between narrative in video games and film works.
Prerequisites:
Students should have knowledge of cinematography and audiovisual forms of new media using modern technology.
