Elaborations

  • • examining the way technical and symbolic codes are shaped by a media artist such as a social media influencer, auteur, game designer or music video director, to inform their construction of representations; for example, using design, production and post-production processes to engage a target audience for a narrative music video or short film, social media product, or genre film such as a teen flick, thriller film or documentary
  • • researching target audiences and conventions used in successful online media arts works and using the results of this research to design and produce a media arts work that communicates representations aimed at building relationships with and engaging an audience
  • • experimenting with use of mise-en-scène, camera work, sound, editing and media technologies in ways that are typically used in a genre, auteur or film movement
  • • manipulating technical and symbolic media codes and conventions of specific film, television or radio genres to produce a media arts work for a target audience; for example, creating a film trailer, film poster, short genre film or soundscape that communicates their understandings of the world around them

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.
