Digital Media LiteracyAn introduction

We believe that learning about moving image media needs to be seen as a fundamental entitlement for all children.

We live in an age when to be literate means to be as familiar with images on a screen as with text on a page, and to be as confident with a camera or a keyboard as with a pen.

Literacy is the repertoire of knowledge, understanding and skills that enables us all to participate in social, cultural and political life. Many now recognise that this repertoire has to include the ability to ‘read’ and ‘write’ in media other than print: in moving images and audio, and in the hypertext structures of the digital world.

Literature and modes of communication are constantly changing and this should be reflected in our primary curriculum. If teachers provide opportunities for children to analyse and be critical of time based texts (film) these skills will continue to develop and will be transferable to the analysis of print based texts.

Jackie Marsh, 2008

Teachers have seen how, starting with film, all children regardless of ability, have been able to discuss narrative in a sophisticated manner. The use of film has allowed children to learn using a medium with which they feel comfortable and able to take risks. This allows for higher order thinking to take place which is then transferable, as well as giving them the tools to understand the media-rich world around them.

Prep for next week

Get together as a group (3 or 4 is ideal) and agree on the story that you want to tell in your movie. Focus on developing a strong, simple narrative.

Again working together, create a storyboard for your movie. It isn’t necessary to be a great artist to produce a good storyboard.

Bring your completed storyboard to the next session, ready for shooting and editing your movie.

NB: Think carefully about the locations, actors and props that will be available to you during the session.

Storyboarding

the type of shot (e.g. WS, MS, CU, ECU)

a description of what is happening in the shot
