Production Policy
Overview
ICT AV Services offer media production services to create educational and how-to videos to supplement online learning and teaching materials. The service is for non-profit curriculum based projects and is open to teaching staff committed to boosting student engagement and improving learning outcomes through the use of quality audio and video content. The service is also available to academic staff for online research projects and publications to enhance research led learning and teaching.
How-to tutorial videos are perfect for capturing a demonstration, examination, or providing step-by-step instruction. ICT also produce documentary style videos, scripted dramas, interviews and overviews that clarify complicated concepts, bring topics to life and enhance the student experience. We can work with you to ascertain which style would best suit your objectives.
Our standard service includes project consultation and development, script collaboration, camera operator/director, voice over artist, editor and other post-production tasks such as basic graphics, effects and deliverables.
How-to clips and short videos (up to 5mins) are provided at no cost for unfunded projects. Longer more complex projects may incur charges. If your project is funded you may like to consider utilising additional contractors such as a second cameraperson, production assistants, actors, graphic artists, animators or script writers which can add more finesse and further enrich your production. We are happy to consult with you over these options and assist you with your grant applications.
As we do not make promotional or marketing videos, if your video is targeted at prospective students for such purposes, please contact the University's Marketing and Communications division.
