Film & Animation: Distinguishing between "image narrative" or "animation and interactive design"

Film, Animation, Motion Graphics, VFX, Interact Media are often placed in the same creative college, but the learning methods differ greatly from the requirements of the work. The choice of a school should be preceded by a confirmation of whether the course is film-based, 2D/3D animation, visual effects, or interactive media.

I. What does Animation & Interact Media read?

In the case of RMIT Bacchelor of Design and Interact Media, the curriculum covers 2D and 3D animation, motion graphs, special effects, interactive media, sound, video and studio practice, and creates a collection of works through practical work.

II. Core differences between Film and Animation

• Film： It's more of a director, a photographer, a clip, a producer, a script and a human image.
• Animation： More roles, actions, visual narratives, 2D/3D software, motion signature and VFX.
• Interactive Media： It is closer to digital interaction, games, immersion media and cross-platform design.

iii. The collection is more important than the painting.

Creative departments usually ask for names, collections or other additional information. It's not just a beautiful product, it's a school where you can see your observations, ideas, experiments, iterative and technological growth.

For what students?

People who like visual narratives, images, roles, dynamic designs and are willing to change their work over and over for a long time. If you prefer a coding and interactive system, you can compare Game Design, UX/HCI; If you prefer a purely visual brand, you can see Communication Design.
