CONTEXT
As a basis for this assessment: learners determine their own project ideas by completing AS91610 - design a project (product/architecture/game) for a client or end user. Learners who don't do AS91610 will have to go through a similar design process to develop a project before undertaking this assessment AS91903.
For this assessment: learners demonstrate their final project idea by making a promotional video using sophisticated digital effects (Adobe After Effects or similar) or code an arcade game using Arcade MakeCode.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
3. Examples of relevant implications include: ● social ● cultural ● legal ● ethical ● intellectual property ● privacy ● accessibility ● usability ● functionality ● aesthetics ● sustainability and future proofing ● end-user requirements ● health and safety.
For this assessment it is suggested learners pick 'aesthetics & end user requirements' to consider for their project.
Learners write about how they considered aesthetics & end-user requirements in the development their project.
4. Examples of complex techniques include: non-core functionality ● sophisticated digital effects ● applying industry standards or guidelines ● responsive design for use on multiple devices ● integration of original media assets ● dynamic data handling and interactivity ● automation through scripts.
For this assessment it is suggested learners pick 'applying industry standards or guidelines & integration of original media assets' to demonstrate complex techniques. To create a promotional video or arcade game, use complex techniques using Adobe After Effects or DaVinci Resolve (or similar) or Arcade MakeCode industry standard professional softwares used in the media industry. For example: there are hundreds of animation, visual effects & compositing visual effects in After Effects, learn to use a variety of them in your video. Watch Youtube tutorials to develop your skills. Creating games in Arcade MakeCode requires using industry standard JavaScript coding complex techniques to create the game play.
Create original media assets (drawings, physical models, 2D/3D models, audio etc) of your project for use in softwares to create a promotional video or arcade game digital media outcome. If your making a video about your project, it should be approx 1 minute long, include audio (descriptive talking or background music), rendered at 1080x720 size. The opening credits should be approx 20 seconds long & include the assessment #, your name & project title.
If your making a Arcade game using MakeCode then you don't need to make a video about your project, but your game needs to function 100%.
