Wk 12: Technical and Symbolic Elements

This week looked at the different types of elements that create a story and reflected it on the Woody “Escape scene”. It is important to have certain elements within a shot because it means that we don’t have “dead space” (Jefferson, 2013). This looks at the use of the “Rule of Thirds” where you have straight vertical and horizontal lines that help photographers/director to take great shots which incorporates different things creating lines and vectors to frame the character or object (Jefferson, 2013). When students create a media artwork they must “use existing and emerging technologies as they explore the language of imagery, text and sound” (ACARA, 2013, p. 83). Having key concepts, elements and story principles help make the students understand what media arts is and how it is an important part of their lives and culture. Teaching technical and symbolic elements to students will take time and practice to make students confident and capable to create a meaningful and suspenseful media art work.
