Media___________________________
Essential Learnings
As stated by the QSA Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework Media involves constructing meaning by using media languages and technologies to express representations, considering particular audiences and particular purposes. • Still and moving images, sounds and words are used in media texts e.g. using still and moving images, sounds and words in a television advertisement. • Media techniques and practices, including crop, print, record/capture and sequence images, sounds and words, are used to create media texts e.g. cropping a digital image to create a close-up from a long shot. • Representations in media texts can be either real or imagined, and are created for particular audiences and purposes e.g. using animal characters in sketches and drawings for a children’s film on road safety.
