This document discusses how poetry and film can convey the same message or effect through different techniques. It explains that poetry uses techniques like metaphor, imagery and structure while film relies on elements like camera angles, editing, and sound. The challenge is to study the poetic techniques used by Bruce Dawe to create an Australian voice, choose one voice to focus on, and decide how to best translate Dawe's message into a film using techniques from Chris Lilley's mockumentary style.
