Content descriptor develop media production skills by exploring ways of shaping ideas using media technologies, images, sounds, text and/or interactive elements

Elaborations

• • Elaboration experimenting with suspense to create meaning and sustain representations; for example, exploring the way colour, shot type and editing techniques are used to communicate film genre
• • Elaboration investigating how the conventions of a news story or video game communicate meaning; for example, examining the different ways speech bubble text can be written and how it can reflect the way a character is speaking
• • Elaboration exploring different ways of creating sounds when making a soundscape; for example, creating Foley sounds with available resources, such as rustling plastic for the sound of fire or using different types of shoes and surfaces to create a variety of footstep sounds
• • Elaboration exploring media technologies and languages when creating sound effects or images to convey a mood or main idea of a story; for example, reviewing captured images, storyboarding, zooming in and out, deleting unwanted images, adding sound/text to images to create or support a story, considering how different options might be perceived by the intended audience
• • Elaboration using Viewpoints to develop questions to respond to their experiences as they work, such as, “In what ways does the meaning of the image change when I manipulate the sound effects?”, “Where is the suspense happening in this work, and how do I know?”, “Which images will best represent the story I am trying to tell?”
