High Concept!

This week all of the Later Years children in school studied storytelling through film. The week kicked off with groups looking at different types of films made in the 20th century. We looked at Laurel and Hardy films and how they used music and sound effects. We also looked at the 1950s film Twelve Angry Men learning about creating a simple but powerful story. We then looked at 1980s blockbusters learning how to create a simple concept with univeral appeal, a strong character and a twist. Most importantly the groups had to write a summary of their idea on no more than 25 words - very difficult!

The groups created their own 'High Concept' ideas, created storyboards and created their own short films.

Teams also created their own film posters and even wrote their own film reviews.

At the end of the week all groups presented their films whilst the rest of the children evaluated what went well and things that could be even better.

Thanks to Mrs Mizen and Mrs Patton for all their hard work on the project

Films coming soon!
