Whats in in the Toolkit?
Produced by staff from ABC TV Multiplatform in collaboration with Media Studies teachers, the downloadable classes cover all stages of media production and with a focus on animation. Providing overviews on key subject areas, instructions on making your own media, detailed class activities and links to related sites and media, this total lesson plan provides all the tools and information required for the conceptual analysis and practical production of media products.
At the end of this class students will have planned made and edited their own animation complete with sound, and will have uploaded it to the RollerMache gallery where they can send it to friends and family to see and rate. Students will also learn to:
- Investigate the nature of storytelling and the reasons for its popularity
- Consider the individual production of a media product from pre production through to distribution
- Learn to critically analyse films and other media
- Investigate and analyse their own and others' experiences of media
- Learn to conceptualise, visualize and express their own ideas and gain self-confidence and communication skills through that expression
- Become familiar and practiced with the principles of film production including idea development, animation production, editing and sound
- Become familiar and practiced with the principles of self produced web content and conscious of identity and privacy concerns
- Produce their own short animation for web distribution
You can download the tool kit in four separate heading areas
