The Advanced Videotechnology & Production module deepens and broadens students' knowledge and skills in the field of videotechnology and production, with a particular focus on current developments in online formats and television. By examining technical and production aspects, this module prepares students to create innovative, high-quality video content. 

Current issues in the field of video and television are examined from both a technological and a production perspective. Independent study of a specified limited topic area using specialist literature and other sources, as well as its application and presentation. A variety of current topics from media informatics are offered, with a particular focus on audio, video and television, at a level of difficulty appropriate for the Bachelor's programme. 

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Homework / Assignment and Oral presentation, with written elaboration

• Field work / Experimental work

Practical implementation of a media production and presentation of selected areas of the production process as a presentation; Weighting 70%/30%

Graded examination performance (Term paper and presentation):

• Term paper: approx. 15 pages or video project 5-10 min, with accompanying explanation if necessary: approx. 10 minutes
• Presentation: approx. 15 minutes, accompanying paper: approx. 10 pages

Unmarked assessment:

• Experimental work: Experiment: approx. 3-5 experiments in total

Students who wish to take the Advanced Videotechnology and Production course should ideally have already completed the Audio and Videotechnology module or have comparable basic knowledge. This includes a solid understanding of the technical basics of video formats, signal processing and compression methods, as well as initial practical experience with camera work, sound recording and lighting. For the more advanced content, confidence in using video production software, basic knowledge of post-production and an understanding of media design and storytelling are also helpful. Equally important are a structured approach to work, the ability to work in a team and a willingness to plan and implement more complex production processes independently.

Students gain a broad overview of the latest developments and technologies in the field of video and television. They learn about the fundamentals and trends in video technology, including the latest standards, formats and transmission techniques.

Students specialise in selected, current issues in video technology and production. Through intensive study of specialist literature and other sources, they deepen their understanding of specific technological and production challenges and solutions.

Students develop a deep understanding of the complex relationships between technological innovation and production practices. They recognise how technical advances influence the production and distribution of video content and what impact this has on the media landscape.

The practical application of the knowledge acquired is the main focus. Students are able to independently design and implement projects that utilise current technological possibilities. They learn to develop innovative ideas for the production of video content and to find technical solutions for production-related challenges.

Students are encouraged to think beyond the current state of the art and make their own contributions to the further development of video technology and production. This includes critically examining existing approaches and developing new concepts and techniques.

Students learn to communicate their ideas and results effectively and to work in teams. They develop skills in collaborating with experts from various fields in order to successfully implement complex projects.

Students develop an awareness of the ethical, social and cultural dimensions of video production and technology. They reflect on the responsibility of media producers and technology developers towards society and critically examine the impact of their work on public perception and opinion formation.
