Here is a short film from an Australian Primary
school, entitles "Addicted' which shows how students are becoming addicted
to technology and specifically mobile phones.
The students have successfully created a short film
that incorporates and follows representation story principals in the media arts
syllabus. (Media arts syllabus P.p.79)
These are:
•Structure
The structure for this film is defiantly linear
as it progresses to a resolution and conclusion.
•Intent
This film conveys the idea that technology
(mobile phones) is taking over society. This story could have been developed
due to a high increase in students becoming distracted by mobiles phone in
class, or a high theft rate of mobile phones at school and in society. The
topic teaches morals and ethics, around ownership, and trust.
•Characters
The characters are identified slowly throughout
the film, they include: the newsreaders, the students (using their phones) and
teachers (using their phones)
•Setting
The setting of this film is in their own school,
which has allowed for accessibility and ease of access, while ensuring the film
is created during class time.
•Point of view
The point of view is shown from the news readers,
who are trying to get the message out in society
•Genre
conventions
The genre would be 'news' and 'broadcasting' or change
and technology. Students are trying to focus on societal change and how it’s
affecting the public.
In this short film all
elements are clearly identified by the students whom created the film. This
type of film is what I aim to create in the future as a teacher.
