  • LIGHTS-CAMERA-ACTION by Julia Boulton



    Kia Ora Y9. Working with our group, this week, we continue to make our short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability.' 

    Big Idea: Life After Lockdown

    PLAN & DO: 

    • We are PLANNING to construct  a Visual text (Short Film) so that we can demonstrate an understanding of the features of Visual Language
    • We are PLANNING to construct  a Verbal  text (Speech) so that we can demonstrate an understanding purpose and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form 

    Learning Intentions: (We are learning to...)

    We are exploring...  Our Environment….. by defining our dynamic relationship with it.

    We are exploring….Film Study (Visual Text).....by observing and analysing the elements of Film Making (Visual Language) 

    We are exploring…. Elements of  Film Study.....by applying the elements of Film Making for making a short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability (Film Making) 

    We are exploring....... Elements of Verbal Language by understanding and applying content, language, and text forms in our speech

    FOCUS:  We are FOCUSED..... On ‘Film Making’ by applying different aspects of Film Making to our short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability’  such as Story/Plot,Themes, Characterisation Dialogues, Camera Angles, Camera Shots Camera- Movements, Editing , Music, Sound, Setting and Makeup etc. 

    We are FOCUSED.....on effective public speaking by understanding, discussing  and applying the features of verbal language, body language and making an oral presentation.

    We are FOCUSED..... on expressing our ideas, opinions and thoughts on our chosen topic by planning and constructing our speech.

    Activities:

    -Applying the aspects of  Filmmaking that we have learnt last term to make a short film.

    -Making a short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability.’ 


    Success Criteria: I can….

    -apply the Film-Making Techniques in my own film such as Story/Plot, Themes, Characterisation, Dialogues, Camera Angles, Camera Shots Camera- Movements, Editing , Music, Sound etc.

     -think critically about texts (Film) with understanding & confidence and recognise, understand and consider how texts are constructed for a range of purposes, audiences, and situations (Environmental Sustainability)

    -construct texts (speech) that demonstrate an understanding of purpose (public speaking)  and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form and can seek  feedback to make changes to texts to improve clarity, meaning, and effect

    -use a wide range of oral & written language features and an increasing range of vocabulary to communicate precise meaning & effect, to sustain interest and to achieve a sense of coherence when constructing texts

    -convey and sustain a personal voice where appropriate by being reflective about the production of my own texts: monitor and self-evaluate progress, articulate learning with confidence.
