The VET Screen and Media program will teach students how to develop 3D environments, characters and animation for interactive games.

Game art development is an exciting and dynamic entertainment medium that is quickly being adapted into traditional areas such as architecture, product design and film making as well as emerging technologies such as VR and AR.

Students will work with real-time game engines to showcase their creativity and build their technical knowledge in order to maximise their artwork within fun and engaging game environments.

Structured Workplace Learning

Contribution to VCE & VCAL VCE

Students will receive up to two VCE VET units at 1 – 2 level, and one VCE VET 3 – 4 sequence.

Students wishing to receive an ATAR contribution for the Units 3 and 4 sequence of a VCE VET program must undertake scored assessment for the purpose of achieving a study score.

This study score can contribute directly to the ATAR, either as one of the student’s best four studies (primary four) or as a fifth or sixth study. Where a student elects not to receive a study score, no contribution to the ATAR will be available.

VCAL

Contribution to VCAL is determined by the number of units of competence successfully completed. When a student has been assessed as competent in units totalling 90 nominal hours, this will contribute one VCAL unit towards satisfactory completion of VCAL. Students can receive up to 4 VCAL credits for VET Screen and Media.

This program will satisfy learning outcomes for the Industry Specific Skills and Work Related Skills strands of VCAL.
