Blueback trailer

Summary of task

Students studied the novel Blueback by Tim Winton as part of an integrated unit that included English, Drama, Dance and the creation of a film trailer as a Media Arts summative task. They developed and planned their own sequences based on the novel's characters and plot. They used the iMovie Trailer app to combine and manipulate their performances recorded on iPads and used other conventions and texts to complete their artwork. In this process, they made technical choices to digitally communicate plot, situation and mood to an audience.
