Into Film Filmmaking CPD
\nFilm is a powerful tool to engage young people, capture their imaginations and bring the written word to life. Our programme places film at the heart of education to engage and challenge students and bring texts to life. Our training demonstrates the benefits of using film as text to develop learners\u2019 critical thinking, analytical and contextualisation skills. These skills are equally applicable to and transferable between film and literary texts.
\nAs film is both visual and auditory, learners develop skills of description, deduction, inference and the ability to decode contexts and translate images and sound into words.
\nFilmmaking enables learners to develop a wide range of exciting, creative curricular and employable skills. Our Filmmaking Programme emphasises film as a teaching tool to encourage deep and active learning, and facilitates young people in taking control of their own learning processes. Filmmaking can improve not only imaginative and technical skills, but also curricular attainment through development of cross-curricular literacy, communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills. Through filmmaking, learners also improve organisational and entrepreneurial skills and learn to work as part of a team. Our training will provide educators with a range of strategies and activities for children and young people aged 5-19 which enable learners to develop literacy, filmmaking, employability skills and raise attainment in reading and writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
