MPP Stage 1: Development

The ideas, intention, narrative and audience that are the foundation of the production are explored. In this stage other media products are investigated to analyse media codes and conventions, genre, style and the location, context and time when the production was produced. Equipment, materials and technologies are investigated in a range of media forms in relation to the audience and intention. Experiments using materials, equipment and technologies are conducted to develop understanding of and skill in their use.

​

​

​Key knowledge:

​

• construction of narratives using the media production process

• media language appropriate to the design, production and evaluation of media products.

We have decided to work as two teams as ther are only a small amount of us in the class.

​

We have chosen to direct a Film Documentary that focuses on Race.

MPP Stage 2: Pre-production

The production is planned considering the specified audience, intention, narrative and context.

The construction of the narrative of the product is planned, including how it will engage, be consumed and read by the specified audience. Media codes and conventions, genre and style, are considered in the construction of the narrative. Documentation and the planning of the production are carried out in visual and written form using tools such as production notes and storyboards.

Equipment, technologies and materials to be used in the production are documented. The way the product will be distributed to the audience and the context in which it will be distributed and consumed is also planned.

​

​

The planned production design is captured and recorded. Annotations may be added to the production design plan in relation to media codes and conventions and any changes to the production design.

Production may be a collaborative process involving a number of people with specific roles or it may be an individual process. Reflection and evaluation of the production can occur through written documentation, oral feedback and/or visual feedback.

​

  • Collect fottage, etc and document the process
  • Annotate your process and annotate your production plan in real time as you are in production
  • Get a classmate to get a photo of you “in action” to athenticate your work
  • Reflect on this

​

​

​Key knowledge:

• media production processes and their relationship to specific media forms

• construction of narratives using the media production process

• the roles and responsibilities required in different stages of the media production process

• technical skills used in the operation of media technologies

• media language appropriate to the design, production and evaluation of media products.

The production is refined and resolved considering the intention, audience and the construction of narrative.

Media codes and conventions are used to resolve ideas and to consider the engagement, consumption and reception of the specified audience. Specific equipment and technologies are used in editing.

​

  • Consider refinement - ask 2 class member for Plus/Minus/Interesting feedback
