TV is dead! Over the last decade, the telecommunications, media and computing industries have converged, redefining TV, cinema, theatre and performance remolding them as part of a vast bucket of entertainments and art forms.

OK, TV is not dead it has however changed forever, its not what it was, it now lives in your mobile, hangs around on the web and follows you through your social network to a nightclub.

If you want to get involved, have fun, be challenged, the FDA Digital Media Production course is probably what your looking for. While we can’t spoon feed you we can help you develop technical skills and introduce you to the main components of digital media practice, design processes, research, video and audio production, narrative structures, interactive design and animation.

Our strategy is to teach the core skills of problem-solving, design methods and essential theory so you can express your ideas and make mental stuff happen.
