Audio-visual Technology.
...
Hello guys, I'm back just for a short while.
Alright, this post is dedicated to 'BVSS Junior' who left me a comment asking about my course.
Well, it benefits those who would want to know more about Audio-visual Technology too =D
Okay lemme start.
...
Introduction:
Audio-visual Technology isn't really like any other courses, where there are specific scopes of work. It involves mainly audio and video stuff. But we touch on a little of business and creativity too. Hmms, introduction's not too many. Lemme go to the next point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stuff we learn:
Okay, for the first year, and a part of the second year, there will be some engineering modules for you to take, like Mathematics, Engineering and Electronics. Yea I know, not many people are fond of this but hey, they're really useful for your career. Bad news isn't as bad as it can get right?
Alright, for the fun part. What we do a lot in this course is entertainment-based. Of course, we will be involved in the entertainment world. We are made mainly for the staging part.
Staging is divided into 3 parts:
Light
Sound
Stage
I shall explain briefly okay.
In light, you control the light mixer and do lighting design.
In sound, you control the sound mixer and do sound design and acoustics.
In stage, you control the stage lor. =P It's usually those people behind the stage handling props and cues.
Oh, and there are bonuses too!
We do music composition, recording and mixing, and we have our own recording studio! We also do video editing and photography. We have a multi-purpose studio in campus too. If you realize, these are extra skills equipped to us.
In our course, there is even a chance to have an internship in Esplanade from the first year onwards! There is one in the first year, and second year too. So you don't have to wait till the third year, and this will be a very good exposure to working environment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's after this:
You have lots, lots of places to go!
"When you graduate, your audio-visual expertise could well land you a job in the MICE, arts and entertainment, audio video consumer electronics,hotels or broadcast and multimedia industries.You could work as an audio-visual technologist or an audio-video technical professional." -NP Website
Companies that may be your potential employers are Esplanade, Mediacorp and production houses like TheShowCompany etc. And even those roadshow event companies like Singtel and Starhub booths need you too. Others include hotels, resorts, theme parks, audio/video equipment companies and weddings.
As you may have realized, I mentioned those 'benefits' that you learn throughout the course, like music, video and photography. You can work as a music engineer in a recording company. You can edit videos for companies too. And you can freelance as an events photographer.
...
Well that's about it.
And hey BVSS Junior, do I know you?
If I do, then write your name la, why so mysterious one?
