• MS-242 All Ears - an Introduction to the Art of Podcasting

  In this highly practical module, students will gain a high-level introduction to podcasting. Covering a wide spectrum of topics, and catering to audiences from the mainstream to the niche, the popularity of podcasts is increasing across a whole range of audiences. From news and current affairs to sport and comedy, podcasts offer listeners the ability to consume content that interests them on-demand, at their own pace and across multiple devices. Through the critical analysis of acclaimed podcasts, students will learn how sound may be used effectively to communicate meaning, and using the latest podcasting technology, they will learn how to record and edit audio content. In addition to essential technical skills, students will gain an understanding of the importance of research to underpin content development, the tenets of scriptwriting for audio and how to choose and edit music to enrich their podcast. They will also learn how to develop compelling, listenable content through the judicious use of expert guests. Finally, they will discover how to develop and promote a brand identity for their own podcast across multiple platforms, resulting in a finished podcast that can be added to their own personal multi-media portfolio, designed to highlight their employability.

• MSW126 Platfformau Cyfryngau Creadigol

  This is an introductory module that enables students to engage with a series of practical media elements at an early stage in their degrees. Coming as it does after the TB1 modules that are theory based, this gives students an insight into the more practice-driven approach to the study of media. It also enables them to get an early taste of some of the themes and practices that they might wish to study in more detail in subsequent years. Finally, the skills acquired from this module also enable students to complete future assessments in all modules with an extra dimension of creative skill.
