  • using learning from explorations of media arts works that communicate First Nations Australians’ connection to and responsibility for Country/Place to devise media arts works that communicate their own connection to and responsibility for place; for example, creating a short film that communicates their feelings about a “favourite” place or shows how they care for a place in their community

  • filming a short sequence that focuses on conflict by selecting camera angles, lighting and/or costume to convey meaning without dialogue
