Year 8 Media is a practical course where students are introduced to basic film analysis and film
production techniques. Students will learn how to use video cameras and film editing programs
to make short and fun videos. They will also view and analyse media products, and learn how to
be an informed citizen of the digital era.
Studio Areas explored may include:
– Filming Techniques and Effects
– Superheroes, Comic Books
– Film Production
Assessment
The majority of the course is practical production, however each task will also require students to
reflect on their work in the form of a self/peer evaluation.
