Week 1 – Digital Director

I suppose Week 1 is a good opportunity to identify my goals for this course. When I selected The Digital Director as my studio – I wanted to do the course because I have a passion for digital media. Social media, I feel, is an area that isn’t covered in many classes and courses at RMIT but after reading about the studios I felt that this course would help me develop a better understanding about social media and how to operate in a team for projects – but all with the overarching theme of using a digital platform to create it. I hope this course will allow me to use what I am best at – such as Photoshop, Instagram, etc., but also allow me to learn about more ways to go about running a successful online space. This aligns with what it says in the course guide outcomes: Examine the role and skill sets of the contemporary director and explore the potentials and implications of digital technologies and the online space for the role of the director. I’m fairly sure that across the semester I will be able to produce something that I’m able to show and be proud of at the end.
