Content Descriptor

design and structure media arts works that examine and communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning

Elaborations

  • • using media technologies, languages and representations when designing a media arts work such as a computer game, community service announcement, website or music video, with the intention of developing audience awareness of a social or cultural issue
  • • using media technologies to design a media arts work that communicates stereotypical representations for a specific target audience; for example, creating a film poster for a genre that relies on stereotypical representations, a music video that perpetuates stereotypical representations of youth, a movie trailer that manipulates genre conventions to meet audiences' expectations, or a social media campaign to advertise a community event
  • • designing the camera work, sound, editing or mise-en-scène to construct alternative representations of people, places, ideas and events in a narrative media arts work such as a genre film, music video, documentary or animation
  • • examining the way technical and symbolic codes and conventions of specific film, television or radio genres have been used in a media arts work to communicate values, themes or ideas to an audience; using pre-production processes such as a shot list, shooting script, screenplay, treatment or storyboard to trial ideas, designing a different media arts work that communicates or challenges these values, themes or ideas; for example, a film trailer, short genre film or soundscape

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 9 ASARTMEDY910
Year 9 The Arts Achievement Standard
By the end of Year 10, students analyse how and why media arts concepts are manipulated to construct representations in media arts works they produce and/or experience. They evaluate how and why media artists across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts use media arts concepts to represent and/or challenge ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They evaluate how media arts are used to celebrate and challenge perspectives of Australian identity. Students use media arts concepts to construct representations and communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning. They use responsible media practice and production processes to create media arts works in a range of genres/styles and/or forms, for specific audiences. They present their work to an audience. They plan where and how they could distribute their work and the relationships they could develop with their audiences, using responsible media practice.
