How does this project help students to develop
visual literacy?
By the time students reach Term 4 of Year 8, they have undertaken
at least two formal film studies in English. Through these
class film studies, students have been given formal instruction
in how to become critical consumers of film.
This project provides students the opportunity to apply the
skills they have developed in the study of film to the making
of film. Through this project, students will construct their
own visual message, thereby developing their visual literacy
not as consumers deciphering visual messages but as producers
constructing meaning through visual images.
