90856: Show understanding of visual and/or oral text(s) through close viewing and/or listening, using supporting evidence
Updated October 2019. This document has been updated in its entirety to address new issues that have arisen from moderation.
Focus of the standard
This standard assesses a student’s understanding of visual and/or oral texts. Students show understanding of how the meaning of each aspect, such as the development of an idea, character or atmosphere, is created by the effects of visual and/or oral language features.
This is the same reading skill that is assessed in the external unfamiliar text standard 90851; however, the text type being closely read is visual and/or oral, rather than written.
Independent assessment
Although a visual or oral text can be viewed in class and teachers can choose the aspects to be studied, the aspects must be taught using different text/s or extracts from those used for assessment.
Close viewing/listening techniques
Students analyse how aspects, such as the development of a particular idea, character or atmosphere, are created by the effects of visual and/or oral language features. Visual and oral language features frequently used in close viewing/listening may include:
|
Ambient sound/silence |
Dialogue |
Narration/voice-over |
|
Body language |
Editing |
Props |
|
Camera work |
Rhetorical devices |
Colour |
|
Composition |
Imagery |
Sound effects |
|
Special effects |
Lighting |
Structure |
|
Costume |
Music |
Production design |
Use of templates
Templates support students’ initial viewing of the text/s. Teachers must provide students with the opportunity to show their understanding of how aspects work together, the purpose of the director/writer and the wider context (requirements for Merit and Excellence).
