MEDIA ARTS

This study is aimed at students who wish to create media products. Students undertaking this course will produce a series of media pieces including: film, photography, sound recording & editing, greenscreen & special effects, 3D modelling & animation, 2D animation & interactive content. Students will also examine existing media pieces to establish purpose, audience, narrative & representations.

Students may have the opportunity to produce media pieces with the specific intention of entering competitions such as the ‘1 Minute Film competition’ (ATOM Victoria) & ABC Heywire competition (Documentary competition). Students will have the opportunity to develop animations using both stop motion & contemporary software for web-based animations. The creation of the pieces will require individual & group work for the students to contribute to several productions.

This course is a precursor to VCE Media Studies & VET Creative & Digital Media.
