Learning Through the Arts Media Literacy Video

This was the winning video from the 2008 Learning Through the Arts Media Literacy student symposium, held in Toronto. Students learned to think critically about the messages they saw about youth on television and through other mediums and then created their own media texts for how they thought youth should be portrayed. Students came up with story lines, created storyboards, thought about camera angles, direction, acting and video production. 10 classes from across the GTA then came together to vote on which class created the best storyboard depicting youth. This class won and had the opportunity to actually produce their storyboard, by making the video. For more on Learning Through the Arts and the Media Literacy Program, please visit www.ltta.ca.
