This unit and its successor Collaborative Digital Media Project Part B require you to apply your accumulated experiences, skills and knowledge, developed throughout the Bachelor of Digital Media, to a real-world capstone project for an authentic client. Working collaboratively as part of a team, you will develop a comprehensive project plan and workflow incorporating essential elements such as project requirements, objectives, scope, audiences, resources, deliverables and timelines. The project plan that your team develops in this unit will become the blueprint for the production stage of the project, which will take place with the same team in the following term in the unit Collaborative Digital Media Project Part B. That is why, when you undertake this unit, you must be prepared to enrol in Collaborative Digital Media Project Part B in the following term to complete the project.
