  • Term 2: Week 4


    Plan: Introduction to Film techniques

    Our context for this term is "Kia Puawai". This concept is about growing as a person, becoming your own hero, and standing up for what you believe in. These ideas are going to be explored in the film Black Panther. We will also be investing some of the other themes in the film such as racism, empowerment of women, and working as a tribe or team across your subject areas. The aim is that by the end of this term, you will be able to use the concepts explored in the film to create your own short film or speech on similar topics.
