Movie making is perfect for Project Based Learning and for Literacy. We live in an age where a lot of information is conveyed through video media and where a lot of storytelling is done with visual media. It is easier than ever than individuals to create sound-bite videos. The experience of working together as part of a team to create a meaningful video story is rich and pushes the boundaries of the skills that learners have: storytelling, videography, storyboarding, acting, editing...
Videos are a great way to:
share a story - fact or fiction
inspire others
entertain others
You get to make something that has an impact on others.....makes them laugh, cry, think, wonder.....
Sometimes the hardest part of movie making is coming up with the story. These techniques are quick, proven ways to create story frameworks. They're useful for all kinds of fictional writing.
The storyboard is a visual plan for all people involved in making a video/movie. It should be used constantly throughout the filming process as a reference document.
Understanding types of shots and camera angles helps to make videos/movies which are more dramatic and impactful.
The beauty of a video or movie making project is that there are a lot of different roles within a team.
You need good raw footage to begin with and then you can sprinkle some editing magic. Decisions about what to include and exclude are very important at this stage.
Whether it's using green screen or special effects in the filming or editing process, there is so much fun to be had with making the impossible seem possible!
