[*** These additional titles are an addenda to the 2009 Catalogue and were produced throughout 2009 and early !2010. They are title listed only and do not appear in the Catalogue pages.] ! INTRODUCTION ! THE ON DISK SECONDARY SCHOOLS DVD LIBRARY !EXPANDED MENU AND NEW SUPPORT MATERIALS FOR 2009 ! Film Archive education programmes provide source material for effective learning experiences in New Zealand secondary classrooms. ON DISK programmes support teachers and students in English, Media Studies, History, Geography, Social !Studies and The Arts. Eleven new titles and one reconstructed title have been produced in 2008. New and redeveloped titles have been listed first in the subject menus that follow. Further titles will also be added during 2009 so it would prove useful for teachers to bookmark their subject pages from the ON DISK website to keep up with new developments. The library titles are essentially multi-chaptered, multi-menued DVD packages using source material from the many genre in New Zealand film & television. !No attempt has been made to alter the images or their message. Coupled with the new disk library are extra components appearing on our Education web pages. The package available with each ON DISK title web listing will include online teacher’s booklet, and in many cases one of a growing collection of online units and support materials written and tested by teachers that directly align ON DISK content with the New Zealand Curriculum. ON DISK titles that have online support material attached or material under production for 2009 release, have !an indicator included in the programme status box next to their title in the subject menus. The ON DISK service is absolutely free (no hire fee or postage levy), and when ordering online teachers can expect a package to arrive anywhere in New Zealand within 48 hours. The loan period is up to four weeks and renewal can be obtained (subject to availability) simply by notifying [email protected] before the due return date. A maximum 4 titles can !be borrowed at any one time. ! ! ! ! ! - "4 - ENGLISH / MEDIA STUDIES ! ! ! ! Māori Filmmakers (3 disks)! NEW TITLE 2009 Total Duration: 360 minutes ! ! PART ONE: THE NON-MĀORI LENS: ‘He’ who controls the camera controls the image. Until the early 1970s, with the exception of Ramai Hayward, there were no Māori controlling the camera. Because of this vacuum, and the exotic marketability of creating films with Māori content, it was non-Māori that made films about Māori. Therefore, to understand Māori Filmmaking it is necessary to see examples of what went before it, and how Māori content and stereotypes were dealt with historically. PART TWO: RANGATIRA: This DVD looks at the works of the first wave of Māori filmmakers - Barry Barclay, Merata Mita, Don Selwyn, Larry Parr and Lee Tamahori. Their remarkable achievements in documentary, feature films and television drama did much to address decades of misrepresentation of their people with content that ranged from the polemic to the mainstream. The non-Māori lens becomes a Māori lens imbued with a unique world view and oral storytelling tradition. PART THREE: RANGATAHI: What is a Māori Filmmaker? Does a Māori Filmmaker only make films about Māori? Does a Māori filmmaker only have Māori crew? Or, does a Māori filmmaker bring a different outlook to the process? In other words, is it Content, Crew or Kaupapa, or all three? What of Pākeha working with Māori content? The last DVD in the series looks !at these debates as well as examples of work from rangitahi, the more recent wave of Māori filmmakers. ! Representations of Pasifika! (2 disks)! NEW TITLE 2009 / ONLINE SUPPORT MATERIALS IN PREPARATION 2009 / Total Duration: 321 minutes ! PART ONE: This disk looks at ’Pacific People as the Exotic Other’ and ‘Pacific People as Immigrants’, the way Pacific People have been represented within film and television media. Early Government footage portrays Pacific Islanders as dependant, savage, unsophisticated, erotic and exotic. These stereotypes were continued into the next century as migration from the islands to New Zealand increased. Highlights include: the 1976 BBC documentary on the Cook Islands ‘Beauty is in the Eye’; the infamous National Party Election Advertising from 1975 attacking Pacific Islanders for making the ‘cities unsafe’; and news coverage of the furor surrounding Folole Muliaga’s death when her power supply was cut off over an unpaid bill. PART TWO: This disk looks at Pacific People as New Zealanders - the way Pacific People are represented in contemporary film and television media. While Pacific Island culture has become popularized in New Zealand some controversy remains around continuing stereotypes. Highlights include: a 1990s Levenes advertisement portraying Pacific Islanders as ‘colourful’; an extract from Pacific Beat Street showing behind the scenes footage of the making of ‘Bro Town’; Beatrice Faumuina in dancing with the Stars; and footage from Media 7 showing the studio debate between Tim Pankhust, Barbara Dreaver and Oscar Knightly discussing Greg Clydesdale’s comment that Pacific Islanders were a ’drain on the economy’. - "5 - New Zealand Television: Television! News NEW TITLE 2008/9 Total Duration: 211 minutes ! Television news is a primary source of information for many people and therefore provides an essential service in a democracy, where in order to participate you have to be informed. Just what, and also importantly how that information is conveyed does help set the agenda for what is deemed important in a society. Television News has changed massively since the early 1960s and this DVD gives students the opportunity to chart this change and question whether society is being well served by today’s news values. This DVD is a collection of extracts from television news, and programmes about television news and current affairs since the early 1960s. The DVD can be viewed in isolation or as part of a wider study encompassing the other New Zealand Television titles - Media Issues and Public !Service and Commercial Television. ! New Zealand Television: Public! Service & Commercial Television NEW TITLE 2008/9 Total Duration: 138 minutes ! Public Service broadcasting has its origins with Lord Reith, the first Director General of the BBC in the 1920s and 30s. ‘Reithianism’ is the notion that broadcasting is for the public good and therefore has an emphasis on ‘quality,’ informing and educating as well as entertaining. Commercial television, on the other hand, has an emphasis on entertainment first - a market-centred approach that gives audiences what they want as measured by ratings. Today Public Service broadcasting is deemed to be a rather quaint concept in our commercial age but is a concept worthy of study in order to understand key concepts in media education. Fragmenting markets and new delivery options challenge the very notion of broadcasting, and an informed
