Curriculum content descriptions
apply production processes and use media arts concepts to construct representations and produce media arts works that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning for specific audiences using responsible media practice (AC9AMA8C02)
Elaborations
- using pre-production, production and post-production processes to produce a media arts work that represents ways of adapting habits or customs to build a more sustainable future for their community or to highlight how people are engaging in online social justice campaigns to contribute to a just and equal society
- combining established genre conventions such as framing in still and moving images; sounds in radio plays, or podcasts and audio-visual artworks; and font size, shape and colour in print
- transferring established technical codes between media types, such as framing in still and moving images; sounds in radio plays or podcasts and audio-visual artworks; and font size, shape and colour in print; for example, a low angle shot of a person makes us think they have high status in both still and moving images, or interludes may be used in radio plays and/or podcasts
- using Viewpoints to ask questions relating to forms and elements; for example, “What elements define a genre?”, “How can I create mood and setting through images/sound/framing?”
- producing a media arts work that represents ways of adapting habits or customs to build a more sustainable future for their community or to highlight how people are changing their behaviours to contribute to a just and equal society
- creating a news story in a print or digital format, focusing on an event they have been involved in, to communicate a perspective, using media languages to persuade their audience, and employing questions based on Viewpoints to consider how to manipulate aspects of the production for bias; for example, “Do the stories leave out or emphasise information?” or “Do the stories present the audience with obvious heroes and villains?” and “Why would media institutions engage in these practices?”
