19. Film-making pointers:
• Go somewhere quiet to record voice-overs
• There has to be a good reason to move the
camera whilst filming - if you do, do it
slowly
• Avoid dialogue, concentrate on the visual
• Don’t zoom whilst filming
• Get a range of moving and still shots -
close-up / mid-shot / wide angle / high
angle / low angle

20. The Brief:
On the iPad, compose a
response to this text using the
sounds and imagery of the
Southbank as your raw material:

up a couple of moving image

21. Literacy practices that include creative film-
making sensibilities are opportunities for:
● hands on purposeful social experiences
● concretising the abstract by making it
tangible, manipulable, visible
● managing the tensions between
planned, collaborative and improvised
meaning-making
● mastering the familiar & complex
audiovisual medium
