Wk 2: Story Principles in Media Arts

Within this week’s workshop we started looking specifically at story principles and why it’s an integral part of creating a film. Story principles include such things as structure, intent, setting the character/s, setting the scene, points of view and genre convention (ACARA, 2013, pg. 84). This key concept is one of three, where students must use these concepts to create and analyse media of their work and others work. With story principles comes storyboard making. This comes before making the film because it is important to know where the film is going. 

The image below looks at how storyboards work, with important concepts that need to be included. Students must realise that making a film tells a story and must have the beginning, the problem, the middle, the solution and the end/ or moral of the story. An implication for future teaching media arts is when young students or old students come from countries that have been war-torn. It may be difficult for them to grasp ideas portrayed through creative arts as a whole.
