Change Media Training

2013 June - Adelaide SA

Our Digital Media Training Toolkit offers a range of tips and tricks we have created over the years in collaboration with communities across Australia between 2010 and 2013. It covers the key elements of digital media production, from development, production and editing to ethics, impact and evaluation.

The toolkit has a strong focus on Indigenous media training and features many Ngarrindjeri participants explaining their step by step training process, during workshops in regional South Australia.

Asylum Seekers Resource Centre training

Asylum Seeker Resource Centre media training 3 2013 September - Melbourne VIC

The Change Media team ran the final collaborative workshop in Melbourne with members and volunteers from the ASRC (Asylum Seeker Resource Centre). The 1-day workshop, focused on handover of a broadcast quality camera for the ASRC, to enable their members to produce their own creative myth busting videos and community campaign films.

The workshop forms part of an ongoing two year collaborative effort to debunk the myths surrounding asylum seekers and to create powerful media messages for TV, internet and/or video projection art. The Change Media team will skill up members and volunteers at the ASRC, to support them to create a self sustaining media hub as a resource for asylum seekers to have a voice in the digital age.

During the handover workshop, participants trained on their new camera and media literacy skill to enable them to transfer their stories into screen language.
This workshop conceded a successful 2-year co-creative process to support asylum seekers in Australia. The ASRC community media team now has their own iMac media hub with broadcast quality camera and all skills necessary to commence their own artistic work.

Big thanks to the Australian Nurses Federation for the use of their fabulous venue!

10x14 Bricks - stories from youth in lock-up

10x14 Bricks - stories from youth in lock-up - 2008 June - Cavan Secure Care Facility SA

Contact us here to buy your interactive DVD tool kit (2009 Winner SA Screen Awards for Best Multimedia). Find all videos below - the DVD comes with a crime prevention tool kit and interactive manuals.

10×14 Bricks – Stories from Youth in Lock-up was produced at Cavan Secure Care Facility (SA) and its Youth Education Centre [DECS] over a 5-week intensive workshop. Participants learnt essential 21st Century digital media skills to create relevant crime prevention messages for their peers. In candid meet-the-director documentaries and in their own films young offenders share their life choices about crime and the consequences.

Why choose to commit a crime? How far will you go?
Is it worth it? What is it like in lock-up? What would you do differently? What can you do to change?

This new peer-educational DVD offers relevant crime prevention strategies from the experts: Young offenders share their life choices, crimes and consequences in their own films and unique ‘meet-the-directors’ documentaries – made behind bars.

All 5 team members deeply engaged with the project, as they all had to make their own story AND be the production team and talent in their peers’ films. Through the unique ‘meet-the-director’ mini-docs we were able to delve deeper into each of their stories of crimes & consequences, and also showcase the incredible film making process.  

CHOICES:
Shane is 15, he knows it is not fun in lock up but he keeps coming back. What does he need to do to break the cycle?

ANGER:
Bayden is 17, after a drunken night he woke up in a police cell charged with attempted murder. What does he need to do to control his anger?

REGRET:
Sam is 18, he regrets committing armed robbery to finance a drug debt. What does he need to do to avoid future events that could lead to crime? What is the impact of your offence on you, your family, your victims?

HOPE:
Robert is 18, he feels like he is trapped in a cage, waiting for the day he can leave. What can he do to make his dreams become reality?

FREEDOM:
Greg is 17, he is ʻjust an Indigenous boy trying to get through life and come out on topʼ. What does he need to do to stay out of trouble? What support is available?
