I am a qualified, experienced and creative UK teacher (Bachelor of Education) with a Certificate in Filmmaking and Animation. I have been an International teacher for the last fifteen years, working in Spain, Thailand, Prague and now The Hague. Literacy is not just about the written word. Film can make a central contribution to children and young people's educational and cultural development, support curriculum learning, foster a range of skills and engender understanding. Children will learn authentic filmmaking skills and techniques. These will be embedded within a scheme of work using a creative and thematic approach with Film, Art and Literacy at its core. Children will have the opportunity to critique, review and make films and will learn about the five stages of developing, planning, producing and exhibiting a movie. They will learn about: Basic Equipment Needs*Storyboarding and Screenwriting* iPad and Video Camera Training* Acting* Animation*Directing* Sound, Lighting and Editing Techniques*Set Construction and Props*Makeup and Hair*Costuming*The Shoot* Publicity*Marketing our Movie*The Premiere*
