Content
There are two concurrent aspects of the program: the first is an overview of the historical context for the Australian film industry focusing on the development of the business of cinema in Australia (including government involvement, key issues and sectional interests). At the same time, students will be guided through an independent research process, gathering information on assigned topics. The information they collect will be recorded into a central database. They will reference and annotate primary and secondary documents, create biographical records for people who have worked within the industry, and develop accounts of the different films, businesses and cinemas they are researching. Students will then prepare, publish and link their online essays (incorporating words, sound and image) to each other's work, to online sources and to the information gathered in the database.
