Subject Description

Wide World of Sports

Wide World of Sports allows students that love sports and telling stories to shine. Throughout this course students will explore the media’s role in the reporting of sport and its influence on Australian society and the broader global context as well creating their own sports and marketing portfolios.

Throughout this highly practical media course you’ll learn how to research, produce and present sports stories in text, visual and audio formats for mobile, online, social, broadcast and print media. You’ll also report on ‘live’ sporting events that often captivate the nation and the world, interview elite athletes and coaches, and host your own podcast and TV panel show.

This course will enable students to develop their skills and understanding of video production, photography and cross media production. It will offer students a contemporary vocational/study pathway with an emphasis on creativity, community awareness, and collaboration with industry and practical learning.

Content

By the end of the course, students will further develop their critical thinking skills, aesthetic and
ethical judgement, and skills in viewing, representing, listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

This course offers opportunities for the development of students’ creativity, self-discipline, self-esteem, personal identity, and confidence while enabling students to critically engage in a rapidly evolving digital environment.

Assessment

Students will create an e-portfolio of their work that will include a production journal and a film portfolio.
