Assignment 1: Media Production – Who needs media literacy education?

 

The purpose of the media production assignment was to engage students in creating a response mediated through media technology to answer one or more of the questions posed in the course modules. This was a fun assignment, because it was the first time for me to create content which called for creative expression to be shared and discussed with amongst peers.

Before I started the production, I spent a lot of time editing the script and finding the audio/video files I wanted to use. The creation process helped me see what media producers have to think about when creating content on the media, such as considering the ethical implications that such content may have on viewers. The challenge was putting it all together in a coherent and meaningful manner without infringing the copyright that authors have while depicting the message I wanted to portray with a light but serious undertone.

I really enjoyed how my final product turned out and hope to have the chance to share this experience with my students in the future.
