EXPLOIT THE FILM MEDIUM
MAKE A SHORT FILM
Best suited for:
Grades 1 - 9
Start-up
Basic film theory and dramaturgy (we will give an introduction)
Group work (recommend 3-4 students/group)
Create a screenplay/story and plan recording
Film & edit (iPad, Capcut)
Showing all films in the classroom
Structure & Time required
The program can be done in one full day, or divided into two visits. You choose.
Two visits/class (approx. 1 week between visits):
Visit 1 = 60-80 min. Theory, group division, screenplay/planning
Visit 2 = Half day (2-4 hours). Filming, editing, film screening
One visit/class:
If you would rather carry out Visit 1+2 in one full day, that's also fine.
To Prepare
Plan group division (recommend 3-4 students/group)
Think about whether you want to work based on a theme (e.g. climate, friendship, the Middle Ages)
Projector in the classroom (we show pictures and video clips from our own laptop)
We provide iPads for a small fee. (If you want to use your own iPads : Download and check that Stop Motion Studio is installed on 1 iPad/group).
If you choose the two-visit arrangement, iPads are only needed for Visit 2 (not Visit 1).
