Year 11 Media at a glance...
In Unit 1 students develop an understanding of the relationship between the media, technology and the representations present in media forms. They study the relationships between media technologies, audiences and society. Students develop practical and analytical skills, including an understanding of the contribution of codes and conventions to the creation of meaning in media products, the role and significance of selection processes in their construction, the role audiences play in constructing meaning from media representations, and the creative and cultural impact of new media technologies.
In Unit 2 students develop their understanding of the specialist production stages and roles within the collaborative organisation of media production. Students participate in specific stages of a media production, developing practical skills in their designated role. Students also develop an understanding of media industry issues and developments relating to production stages and roles and the broader framework within which Australian media organisations operate.
A balanced approach to both theory and practical work is taken throughout the Year 11 program. Students will have access to a wide range of production technology and will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the processes involved in video, photographic, audio and print production.
Our core text 'Heinemann Media' (Second Edition) is compulsory for all students as learning activities from this textbook will underpin a vast range of other resources and materials supplied in class and via this website.
