Media Arts

This Content Descriptor from Year 7 The Arts provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

develop media production skills throughout the production process to construct representations using media languages and media technologies

Elaborations

  • • exploring ways to use media languages and media technologies to create representations that perpetuate or challenge relationships, or address issues such as stereotyping, bias, identity or sustainable ways of living
  • • 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 in media arts forms, such as print, moving image and interactive content
  • • experimenting with digital tools such as cameras, sound recording equipment or editing/coding/animation software to construct representations of people, places or concepts for various genres or media platforms
  • • constructing fictional versions of everyday spaces using augmented (AR) and virtual realities (VR); for example, interacting in AR and VR worlds and documenting their experiences, or using a green screen to “transport” students into different worlds
  • • experimenting with audio effects such as sound effects, music or Foley sounds to construct ambient sound to enhance representations of different places in a media arts work
  • • experimenting with established story principles, such as creating the opening scene to a documentary film that establishes a setting and location, or disrupting story principles through the manipulation of time so the narrative structure is not as an audience would expect
  • • combining established genre conventions to make a hybrid production; for example, exploring established media forms such as narrative, non-narrative, experimental, micro-documentary, trailers, music video, micro-short film and social media video campaign, or genres such as horror, western or comedy

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.
