Developing Multiplatform Ideas

19 – 21 March 2010, plus 7 weeks online

What is multiplatform? What makes a strong multiplatform project? How can you develop great cutting edge ideas, then frame and pitch them to get commissions?

Richard Williams (Head of Multiplatform Productions at BBC Vision) will equip you to face current industry challenges during a 2-day residential, followed by 7 weeks of part-time supported learning online.

Develop your understanding of the multiplatform world (broadcast, online, gaming and mobile) – new opportunities and trends, shifts in audience behaviours, developments in technologies and content, emerging development processes and current commissioning needs.

Generate, develop and pitch your own multiplatform ideas. This intensive opportunity allows you to develop an individual project with hands-on support from industry experts – an idea you have in development, or a new response to a current commissioning brief. With just 8-14 participants, we can respond to your specific needs and help you work towards that powerful pitch.

Breathe. Take a weekend break from the daily grind and learn new techniques to maximise creativity and generate fresh ideas. Stimulate your business with invaluable networking opportunities and precious space for collaboration and inspiration.

Do all this while keeping up the day job – anywhere, anytime. Work around your existing commitments and use our flexible online programme to embed your learning directly into your business activities.

This new course is aimed at experienced producers and creatives (television, film, music, commercials, publishing and other specialisms) who want to develop their understanding of multiplatform.

You should have at least two years’ professional experience in media production. The course advances rapidly, so you will need to be up to speed with existing production methods. No existing knowledge of multiplatform production is required.

The course is accredited by Skillset as a Skillset Media Academies’ CPD Short Course. You can take just one course or you can work towards a qualification. This could be a Postgraduate Certificate (3 accredited courses like this), a Postgraduate Diploma (6 accredited courses) or an MA in Professional Media Practice (6 short courses and a more in depth MA project module).

Cost: £800 per participant (not including a Skillset bursary)
