Media

In Year 10 Media, students develop key skills in the use of specialist media programs such as iMovie, Garage Band, Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. They examine and analyse film narrative and production codes and conventions. Students will have the opportunity to develop skills in a variety of media technology.

Content/Skills
Year 10 Media will cover three main aspects of Media: Photography, Print/Desktop Publishing and Film/Moving Image.
Practical areas of study:
▶ Print/Desktop publishing: A production which could include the introduction and application of specialist programs to create imagery
and products related to newspaper, magazine or advertising material.
▶ Photography/Still image: A production which could cover advertising and film posters with a focus on representation and stereotypes.
▶ Film/Moving image: an introduction in the planning and production of a media product.

Production skills:
▶ Assembly of equipment
▶ Camera functions
▶ Camera framing
▶ Lighting techniques
▶ Editing techniques

Theoretical areas of study:
▶ Development of key vocabulary
▶ Written analysis of media products in different forms covering film, advertising and print media.

It is expected that all students maintain a folio/sketchbook of notes and designs. The recording of all media processes, development of ideas,
annotation of tasks and a reflection at the end of each production is essential. Narrative and production elements will be a focus when analysing and reviewing selected films.
