Overview

By exploring innovative photographic and advanced visual effects technologies, this course exploits the new versatility of the camera and hence the photographer. You will be able to extend digital image making beyond the purely photographic, dealing with advanced graphics, visualisation, interactive media, visual arts, and even live installations.
