design and structure media arts works to communicate ideas, perspectives and meaning for an intended audience

Elaborations

  • • using pre-production templates such as a storyboard, shooting script or production schedule to plan production
  • • understanding the importance of, and applying, respectful relationships and empathy when developing characters to convey historical or cultural ideas and meaning; for example, planning how to create relationships with audiences when developing characters
  • • exploring ways to use media languages and technologies to create representations that perpetuate or challenge relationships, or address issues such as stereotyping, bias, identity and sustainable ways of living, in media arts forms such as cartoons, graphic/print, photographic sequences and moving image
  • • experimenting with the technical capabilities of media technologies and using media languages to inform plans for the design and construction of representations of people, places or concepts
  • • experimenting with ways to use technical and symbolic elements such as sound and lighting to construct representations of people, places and concepts for various genres or media platforms
  • • experimenting with audio, including sound effects, music and Foley sounds, to construct ambient sound for different places or to create/enhance an atmosphere
  • • experimenting with technical and symbolic elements to construct safe, legal, ethical and responsible representations of cultural or social groups and values

Achievement Standard This Supports

This Content Descriptor contributes to the following Achievement Standard:

Year 7 ASARTMEDY78
Year 7 The Arts Achievement Standard
By the end of year 8, students analyse the use of media arts concepts to construct representations that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning in media arts works they produce and/or experience. They evaluate use of media arts concepts in media arts works from across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts. They describe respectful approaches to creating and/or responding to media arts works. Students select and manipulate media languages, media technologies and use production processes to construct representations. They create media arts works that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meanings. They present their work to an audience. They plan where and how they could distribute their work using responsible media practice.
