Creative Computing Club - Summer 2021

This term we ran an extra curricular after school 'social catch up' club. During the 6 weeks we watched film clips and short films and discussed different camera shots. We used still cameras and in groups took turns to be actors and directors taking an example of each type of shot. We then scripted our own mini-movies and created storyboards and story mountains to plan the shots, drama, action and dialogue.

What do you think of our finished movies?
