Silent+Movie+Round+1

flat

The first round is where the students make a silent movie based on the theme / concept. The theme for 2013 is to be announced soon! =**First define a theme with your students **= This can be done through brainstorming, SOLO Taxonomy, activating prior knowledge.

=**Learn about different types of shot and angles of shot **= A good movie will contain a range of different types of shot and angles of shot to describe the character, the setting and the plot.

=**Plan your silent movie **= Write a brief synopsis or plot. Decide if you movie will be animated, green screened, acted (remember actors should act out their emotions and ideas this is a silent movie!) Create a story board showing types of shot and angles of shot.

MOVIES NO LONGER THAN 1 MINUTE (**__NOT__** including credits) =**Film your silent movie **= Using your storyboard film your silent movie. Add a title to the beginning of your movie (you can also give it a subtitle). Add credits at the end to say who has made the silent movie. I will add an example here when term starts. Mac users export the movie as Quicktime or as HD 720p. Windows Movie Maker & Windows Live users check out the youtube clips at the bottom of the page.
