1 CS7028: Audi, Vide and Sensr Technlgies Mdule Cde CS7028 Mdule Name Audi, Vide and Sensr Technlgies Mdule Shrt Title ECTS weighting 10 ECTS Semester/term taught Semester 1 and 2 Cntact Hurs Semester One 11 tw-hur lectures, 11ne-hur lectures, 20 hurs assignments Semester Tw 11 ne-hur lectures, 11 tw-hur lectures, 20 hurs assignments Mdule Persnnel Aidan Maguire, Vivienne O Kelly, Jack Cawley, Adam Taylr Learning Outcmes Audi Technlgies (Semester One) Jack Cawley On successful cmpletin f the mdule, students will be able t: Understand the nature f sund Use a mixing cntrl and Digital Audi Wrkstatins (DAWs) Use Virtual Studi Technlgy (VST plug-ins) Set up micrphnes fr recrding vice and acustic instruments Cnduct an audi recrding sessin in a sund recrding studi Cntrl the audi in a live perfrmance Create audi sftware using the Pure Data visual prgramming envirnment. Mving Image fr Digital Applicatins (Semester One) Aidan Maguire and Vivienne O Kelly This mdule aims t familiarize students with key cncepts and debates surrunding the mving image. Theries f representatin are explred alngside the develpment and expansin f the mving image in sciety. Questins f realism will be discussed; the cnventins f cmmercial narrative cinema will be cnsidered, alng with strategies f representatin that interrgate ntins f transparency. Wrks that ffer alternative appraches t frm, that seek t expand the pssibilities f the mving image and re-imagine the rle f the spectatr shall be the fcus f weekly discussin. A diverse range f influential theretical, critical and cultural perspectives related t the study f the mving image will be illustrated via screenings f relevant material. On successful cmpletin f the mdule, students will be able t: Assess the technical requirements fr prducing a vide. Operate prfessinal camera and apply shting techniques. Prduce prfessinal quality vide prjects Recgnise cmmn terms and practices in the creatin f a vide Sht / light an interview with edited cutaway sequences

2 Intrductin t Sensr Technlgies (Semester Tw) Adam Taylr This mdule affrds an verview f the fundamentals f physical cmputing, prviding the tls fr basic circuit building and electrnics, prgramming with Arduin, sensr and actuatr cnstructin, and cmmunicatin between Arduin and the prcessing IDE. Mdule Learning Aims Audi Technlgies Prvide a practical intrductin t digital audi technlgy fr beginners Illustrate suitable techniques fr the develpment f systems fr interactive sund manipulatin Mving Image fr Digital Media Applicatins Lectures in the first semester aim t familiarize students with key cncepts and debates surrunding the mving image. Cntact hurs are cmprised f bth teaching & viewing time slts. Students will be given a practical intrductin t vide prductin including camera cntrls, cmpsitin, lighting and editing. This will give the students the pprtunity t effectively / cnfidently use vide prductin as part f a multimedia prject Cntact hurs in the Secnd Semester are cmprised f camera, lighting and editing wrkshps. Attendance at all lectures and wrkshps ver the tw semesters is cmpulsry.
