Film techniques include camera angles, shot types, use of colour, music, sound effects, lighting, costumes and set design.

Year 10 Media Studies

This course familiarises students with the power of media and its main purpose of mass communication.  Students are given the opportunity to examine a wide variety of media types and how each one can be used in a unique way for specific purposes.
