Course summary
In an increasingly media-based world, this programme will equip you with the digital media production skills required to create contemporary anthropologically and socially informed work.
- Anthropology is the study of humans, culture and society. On this programme, you will be developing your theoretical knowledge of anthropology, while honing your digital media production skills to produce creatively challenging work and alternatives to contemporary media representations
- You will explore creative approaches to digital media, including approaches from contemporary art practice, photojournalism, and many other kinds of media production – as well as more traditional documentary approaches
- You will receive hands-on training in the use of industry-standard editing software such as Adobe Premiere and Audition. Goldsmiths is an official Adobe Creative Campus, meaning you will also be able to access and download the Adobe Creative Cloud suite for free on your own devices
- You will be actively encouraged to draw from your own experiences to produce audiovisual work that addresses issues that directly affect your own life, from racial injustices to climate change
- You will explore ideas of multimodality (the combination of different audiovisual media, such as photography, film, audio recording and others, alongside text to engage with social process) and how this has shifted the discipline of anthropology as a whole
- On completion of the programme, you will have produced a coherent portfolio of visual and digital creative work, which demonstrates cross-disciplinary skills to potential employers, or for further postgraduate study
