Content Descriptor

reflect on their own or others’ media arts works and/or practices to refine and inform choices they make during stages of the production process

Elaborations

  • • developing skills needed to use selected media technologies to produce a photographic sequence for distribution in print, through an online photo gallery or a moving image media arts work, such as sequences or scenes using a DSLR camera, and developing understanding through reflective practice of how to use the manual settings for ISO, shutter speed and aperture for accurate exposure
  • • identifying and developing knowledge and skills needed to produce a media arts work such as a computer game, community service announcement, website or music video, to develop audience awareness about a social or cultural issue
  • • using Viewpoints to frame questions and explore possibilities by, for example, examining how camera work, sound, editing, media technologies and mise-en-scène have been manipulated to construct conventional representations of values, themes or ideas in a genre or body of work of an auteur or film movement or style; then safely, ethically, legally and responsibly designing, producing and editing a media arts work that communicates alternative representations to audiences
  • • documenting and explaining their creative choices in relation to representations or genre codes and conventions
  • • using editing software to experiment with structuring sequences, and applying technical and symbolic codes and conventions, to create meaning for audiences; for example, adding filters, text, music, rhythm and pace to a suspense sequence, using teen flick genre conventions for font, music and split screen to create a sequence, or paying homage to an influential director by manipulating pace and rhythm to create suspense
  • • using Viewpoints to develop investigating questions when making decisions about how they will represent a theme, concept or idea, and considering possibilities for using or disrupting media conventions

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.
