READING FILM AS TEXT - "THE TOOLS OF PRODUCTION"
Approached from the perspective of Filmmakers, this program provides students with a clear and concise understanding of the fundamental Tools of Production manipulated by the filmmakers to shape their stories, build their worlds and character journeys and create the layers of meaning within this medium.
With visual literacy a critical area of English comprehension for our new generation, these Tools are fundamental to any in-depth English study involving “film as text", inclusive of visual media content creation across documentaries, limited series, short films, television shows and narrative feature films.
'The Tools of Production' is presented in a language that is engaging, entertaining and eye-opening for Stage 3 and Stage 4 and built upon in Stage 6 to unlock layers of understanding that can be used to deconstruct film/visual media content across the HSC Modules for English Standard, English Advanced and English studies courses.
