Media Film Production
Media Film Production is an introductory course available for Year 7 students who have a
keen interest in films and the production process and want to develop the practical skills
needed to create their own work. It is a hands-on course with a focus on experimentation and
narrative development.
Media Film Production explores media concepts, and challenges students to implement them
into their own body of work. Students will view, listen, read, analyse and discuss media,
considering how people, events and issues are represented. Students will create, produce
and present their own works in Media. Working independently and in collaboration with others,
students will become confident and competent in using media technologies to express their
ideas.
In this course, students will explore different practical media forms, focusing on visual narrative
of short films. Students will learn skills associated with storyboarding, brainstorming ideas,
pre-planning, producing and editing multiple short films in post-production.
The focus of this Discovery course is:
Codes and conventions
Narrative structure and characterisation
Audience, context and content
The production of narrative
Video production skills in cinematography and editing
Leadership and group work skills
