On the class site, there are tabs related to our specific unit. On the top right, there is also a resources tab with pages that are generally helpful, like camera settings and APA referencing.
College Expectations
You will need to complete 70% of your assessment per unit in order to pass (avoid voiding your grade)
You will need to attend 90% of your classes in order to pass (avoid voiding your grade)
If you miss school due to understandable reasons (e.g. sickness, mental health, family reasons etc..), have your parents cover absences by emailing tugc_absences@ed.act.edu.au
If you arrive after the first 5 minutes of class and do not hear the roll called, assume it has already been called and tell your teacher your arrival time so they can log this so that your parents do not receive an absence text.

In this unit, you’ll explore how creativity works in Media by breaking down how movies, videos, and other media are made. You’ll learn the techniques and tricks creators use, and how to recognise the choices they make to shape meaning and emotion.
You’ll specifically focus on how coming of age stories have been portrayed across different eras, and how media techniques change over time to reflect attitudes about teenagers, identity, and growing up. You’ll then use these ideas to create and share your own media work, expressing your perspective on yourself, others, and the world around you.
