Overview

The Digital Media Production , BVoc from Manipal Academy of Higher Education while contemporary visual culture is replete with digitally produced and manipulated imagery, they all start on a drawing board with the stroke of the hand. Tactile exploration, digital intervention, and enhancement are key to envisioning impossible worlds and interactive virtual spaces. Commercial and artistic spaces today abound in several forms of time-based media works. At SMI, we encourage such media works to start primarily from a deep immersion into one’s social, personal, historical, cultural and contemporary contexts through the 4-year undergraduate course in Digital Media Arts (DMA)

Whether it is movements drawn, models made to act, or interaction of live-action and computer-generated imagery (CGI), this is a space to explore new frontiers of time-based media formed by the interaction of time, movement, image, text, sound and space.

Upon successful completion of this course graduates will have developed the following capabilities:

Constructing narrative, meaning, feeling or thought in moving image
Understanding the “language” of media art practice (animation, gaming, film/video etc.)
Thoughtful creating of characters, situations, and scenarios
Visual, aesthetic and performative sensibility (in constructing moving image)
Spatial understanding – physical, sonic and/or symbolic
Structural thinking – understanding natural, physical and digital environments and materials
Creative problem solving and management of processes
Inventive thinking, risk taking, approaching the unknown
Keen observation, assimilation and expression
Constructing viewer experiences
Research – inquiry, probing and methodical investigation
Focused understanding of a given context and how one relates to it
Creative use of techniques and expertise in their application
Ability to engage with diverse topics and bring about creative synthesis
Autonomy, individual awareness and self-directed processes
