Film Techniques
Monday 29 May's learning
P1
FILM TECHNIQUES- The fritter scene.
We are continuing to work to complete the analysis of the scene where the Bag Lady cooks Claude fritters as they sit and chat together on the street. The director uses a range of film techniques to show how Claude is lucky that he encounters her, and not some dangerous situation in his adventure down K Road.
The director also challenges us to think beyond the obvious, and see how people can make a very real connection even though they are very different. The director also challenges the stereotyping of homeless people.
LI: I can identify, describe and explain the effects of a range of film techniques used in this scene.
SC: I can identify two film techniques to describe and explain how they show the meaningful connection between these two unlikely characters.
SC: I can use supporting evidence in my written paragraph.
SC : I can make thoughtful comments about the issue of stereotyping people, or judging them on their appearance in my paragraph.
I have smart shared in your English folder a copy of the notes, document called ( Character notes- Film Techniques) we did together last week about this scene. You may wish to add more.

The main characters, a real contrast.
Wednesday 24 May's learning
Today in P2 we are going to view the part of the film that shows both the main characters and the interactions they have. They are both very different, almost from two different worlds, yet they get on, and experience a very real and connecting experience. It would be easy to dismiss the Bag Lady as some old street weirdo, but the film encourages us to look past the obvious to see how caring and gentle she is with Claude.
LI: We are learning to analyse a scene that has its focus on the main characters.
SC: I can identify and describe the key elements in this scene
SC: I can explain the effects of the camera work in this scene.
SC: I can make thoughtful conclusions about the issues of stereotyping people.
SC: I can write a comprehensive paragraph using supporting detail and evidence.
We will then work towards the last paragraph which is based around the issues that the film presents or makes us think about.
