Media Education in Schools: New Literacies and Production (EDPS0023)

The purpose of this module is to explore media education, new literacies, and learning with digital media in schools, with a specific emphasis on film-making. Lectures introduce theories and practices related to: digital shifts in the socio-cultural and textual landscape, critical approaches to literacy and learning with/about the moving image, and relationships between creativity, social and collaborative meaning-making and the affordances of digital media. You will learn how to analyse, create and edit moving image texts on iPads by manipulating video clips, sound & music. There will be separate practical media-making workshops in which we will watch clips, reflect on film language and put theory into practice through short production tasks. You will work in groups to make your own short film, which will be screened to a wider audience.
