Curriculum content descriptions

develop media production skills throughout the production process to construct representations using media languages and media technologies (AC9AMA8D01)

Elaborations
  • exploring ways to use media languages and media technologies to create representations that perpetuate or challenge relationships, or address issues such as stereotyping, bias, identity or sustainable ways of living
  • experimenting with the technical capabilities of media technologies and using media languages to inform plans for the design and construction of representations of people, places or concepts in media arts forms, such as print, moving image and interactive content
  • experimenting with digital tools such as cameras, sound recording equipment or editing/coding/animation software to construct representations of people, places or concepts for various genres or media platforms
  • constructing fictional versions of everyday spaces using augmented (AR) and virtual realities (VR); for example, interacting in AR and VR worlds and documenting their experiences, or using a green screen to “transport” students into different worlds
  • experimenting with audio effects such as sound effects, music or Foley sounds to construct ambient sound to enhance representations of different places in a media arts work
  • experimenting with established story principles, such as creating the opening scene to a documentary film that establishes a setting and location, or disrupting story principles through the manipulation of time so the narrative structure is not as an audience would expect
  • combining established genre conventions to make a hybrid production; for example, exploring established media forms such as narrative, non-narrative, experimental, micro-documentary, trailers, music video, micro-short film and social media video campaign, or genres such as horror, western or comedy
