MEDIA ARTS: Week 11 (escape movies)


This week we learnt about a type of film that can be used to teach the elements of media arts. This type of film is generally related to film and photography and is known as an 'Escape film'. An escape film uses elements of media arts to create structure/ intenet and character. These elements can be taught to students which benefit them when making and creating film and photos to present an idea or story in media arts.

During an escape portrayal, the maker must incorporate several tricks to ensure their film is successful as a quality escape film.

These include:

•Needs
There are consequences, if the object or person doesn’t escape, the maker can create high tension by having thus person have high needs.

Obstacles
Creates higher tension

Action/Reaction
Is an essential element which helps the audience to not miss the obstacles

Tension and Suspense
Puts the audience on edge, draws them in and leaves them wanting to see what’s next,

To teach students about escape movies I would have them, script and create a whole class play, which uses the entire above element. Film or photograph their story and present to present or show on an assembly. Students can use their surroundings (classroom/playground) to film or photograph their story.
