Last lesson before half term

Todays lesson was all about finishing up the research and planning before we make our videos after half term.

Students learned about how to produce a storyboard to help with filming. They learned about how to put arrows inside the box to show the subject moving, and outside the box to show camera movement. They also needed to add the shot type, dialogue, sound effetcs and transitions.

They then got into their two groups to make their storyboards and scripts ready for filming after half term. Some finished off research on the topic and mood boards as well.

4th May Video prep

Today we started by getting into two groups - (Group A) Queen, Bisola and Roche in one and (Group B) Betsy, Yasmin and Jamilea in the other. They started to come up with ideas for their Human Rights films and drew spider diagrams. Group A would like to do child labour and group B would like to do the rights of young women in this country.

Next we finished looking at the films made by previous students on being Muslim and having HIV and suffering prejudice.

We learned about the different shot types, camera movements, mise en scene, sound and editing techniques and watched a short film by students to see them in action.
