Elaborations
- • Elaboration 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
- • Elaboration 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
- • Elaboration 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
- • Elaboration documenting and explaining their creative choices in relation to representations or genre codes and conventions
- • Elaboration 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
- • Elaboration 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
