Arts and Science – Building the Educational Bridge

In the Motion Picture and Television industries, the Arts and Sciences are interdependent. — The massive changes that took place from the 1990's saw the education process that been part of industry collapse. At the same time, the digitisation of media introduced complex new changes in terms of formats, colour spaces and encoding. The introduction of new technologies such as HDR has now further expanded on the complexity of the film and television industry. The democratisation of technology has made it available to a very large cohort. There is a very large gap in the basic technical knowledge of the creatives, and some in engineering with the new choices of technology such as HDR/WCG. Experience has shown that the technical education of creatives in the film schools is limited. Yet it falls to these creatives to make significant choices when they prepare and pursue their project. This paper explores building a bridge between the arts and sciences and the value this brings to the entire industry. The particular requirements in explaining technical jargon and science to be comprehendible and meaningful to the creatives and engineering is explored.
