The Stage 6 Photography, Video and Digital Imaging course offers students the opportunity to explore traditional and contemporary photographic practices.
Students develop conceptual and technical refinement through the exploration of a variety of subject matter and genres including portraits, landscapes, photojournalism, still life, photomontage and experimental video.
Students develop technical skills using digital SLR cameras, professional studio lighting equipment, backdrops and greenscreens, Photoshop, and analogue cameras and film processing.
A visual diary is used to plan, research, document and reflect, which allows students to develop a characteristic style and an increasingly independent approach to practice.
Students also undertake a range of critical and historical investigations to inform their own practice and develop ways to interpret images.
Exhibition practice is an integral part of the course as students learn to present their finished artwork for an audience at the completion of each unit of work.
This course also provides students with the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience by photographing school events such as sports carnivals, music performances, and special assemblies.
At the conclusion of the course, students present a refined portfolio of work to showcase their skills and achievements for future employment in creative industries, or entry into tertiary education courses.
