This Year 10 Media Arts course is broken into four parts, coinciding with the four school terms. You will be required to maintain a journal that evidences your learning, and you will have to produce a major media work each term in groups.
You will have some freedom in terms of project choice, but there are some strict controls and constraints that will limit the scope of your project - such as school rules, ethical constraints, audience consideration, available equipment, time limits etc.
In small groups, you will be required to develop an idea and see it through to fruition. The production genre for each term will be discussed at the start of the year, and it will be broken into three parts; proposal, planning, production (including post-production). You will be assessed on the following:
Proposal - Due Week 2
Media language - your application of media terminology specific to the task or context.
Analysing and reflecting on intentions - considering purpose, context, and intended audience.
Audience - past and current trends on how audience use of media.
Planning - Due Week 3
Representation - constructing representations of ideas, issues and/or people that either reflect or challenge values.
Production - social and cultural sensitivity, consideration of controls and constraints, and accommodation of audience values.
Skills and processes - planning, scripting, storyboarding processes.
Production Due Week 9
Media languages - use of codes and conventions to construct meaning, appropriate use or manipulation of narrative convention, use of conventions to position the audience.

Journals Due Week 9

Media Language

Your journal will be on hard-copy, and you will receive a print-out of a SCSA Glossary as well as the SCSA assessment pointers. Each time you journal, you should ensure you address at least two of the assessment pointers, and demonstrate to your teacher how this has been achieved. As you progress through the year, you should try to improve on your previous achievement, using the assessment pointers as a guide. Lots of small steps make for great achievements!
By the end of the year, you should have covered all the pointers to the best of your ability.
Your teacher will be required to sign off on your progress each fortnight.
