MEDIA MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTION
The course offers a broad, rigorous orientation for understanding the basic elements of media production, management and planning and intends to equip the student with the skills necessary to complete complex projects across various media. Students will also explore their personal strengths in various technologies, positions and tasks as well as their individual roles within the production process.
In addition to discussion sessions, group projects and presentations, lectures will help students handle typical problems of media management and production and focus on topics as intellectual property, media technologies, communication, distribution, competition, team organization, project management and marketing.
Group projects will demonstrate the proficiency level in project management, problem analysis and solving, programming, coding, visualizing, presenting and marketing. Proposals include methods and elements of information retrieval, databases, CVS (concurrent versions system), web services, technologies to be explored, methods and data to be visualized, and results presented and documented.
