Filmmaking Language (3:42) Cinematic Storytelling- How Filmmakers Tell A Story: Understanding the Language of Film

Lesson Title Cinematic Storytelling- How Filmmakers Tell A Story: Understanding the Language of Film & Arts Area School & Grades 5-12 Grade Level Arts Educator Lesson Frank Baker Designer Short statement Frank Baker is a national media educator who teaches visual, media and film literacy. He maintains the about Media Literacy Clearinghouse website (www.frankwbaker.com). He has used this activity many times as an designer & introduction to film literacy, and the language of film. lesson LRP: If the teacher is introducing techniques used in other media, this lesson plan on film making would development be a nice follow-. After the lesson, the teacher could post the “languages of film” in the classroom as & place in a guide for future analysis of any video or film. Long Range Plans Unit UD: Using a film clip from a popular culture text (found online) students will use critical viewing Description skills to begin the process of “reading” a film Big idea? BI: Watching a film actively rather than passively Essential ES: What are the techniques and tools filmmakers use to create meaning in their works? questions?

Help students to “read” (analyze, interpret, deconstruct) film Instructional Help students understand how filmmakers use tools and techniques to communicate meaning Objectives Help students become active, critical viewers and listeners Description of Student viewing of a film clip followed by discussion and analysis of same Instruction

The teacher will be using a popular culture text as the to help students appreciate how filmmakers tell stories, create meaning and to better understand the languages of moving images (see full explanation below the lesson plan). A discussion might start with the question: “how are made”. Many students don’t know that a script () must first be written; (visual representations) are created, and both are used by each member of the crew to create the film. The director has a number of tools (and techniques) at his/her disposal. I call these the “languages of moving images” or the “languages of film.” They are detailed below the lesson plan. They are not shared with the students initially. The lesson starts with the screening of a popular culture text–to get students accustomed to recognizing and understanding the tools and techniques. The opening scene of “ET: The Extra Terrestrial” is shown with no prior instruction-students will watch passively, much the same way they do now. (NOTE: Because the scene is very dark, the classroom should be Teacher as dark as possible to get the best resolution on the projection screen.) At the end of the first Procedures showing, the teacher disseminates a series of index cards, (pasted below the lesson plan template) one card to groups of students seated together. The cards have specific instructions (about one of the languages of film) for students to follow. Teachers should provide time for the index card to be passed around so that each student in each group has read it. Next, she instructs students to pay close attention as she plays the clip again. Some students may wish to take notes based on what their index card says. After the second screening, give students in each group time (say 5 minutes) to collaborate and discuss what they saw. At the appropriate time, the teacher calls on each group. A leader in the group should first read aloud his/her card-because other groups won’t know what the cards say. After reading the card aloud, the leader and members of the group share what they saw/heard. To conclude, the teacher may initiate a discussion about other films and the specific tools and/or techniques they use to communicate meaning. The teacher may also assign students to select their favorite film and to write a “film analysis” essay/blog post using the language of film as the focus of that analysis. Students will watch the first 8 minutes of the film “ET: The Extra Terrestrial.” They will watch

initially with no instruction. After receiving index cards with specific instruction on one of the Student languages of film, they will watch a second time with a focus on one of the languages of film. In groups, Activities they will discuss their index card assignment with one another. When called on by the teacher, they will

share their findings with the entire class.

Language of Film: Symbolism

An except from Frank Baker’s “To Kill A Mockingbird”film study guide:

“When we read with our students, we often point out all of the relevant and important symbols in a story or a novel….We assume that students cannot pick up on a symbol on the first read-through, and that may be true, since for a symbol to be truly a symbol, it must be repeated throughout a work, though students may have difficulty picking out symbols because they do not understand the purpose or the function of symbols…so we need to help students see how artists use various techniques to get the audience to recognize that something is, in fact, a symbol.” (Source: Reading in The Dark-Using Film As A Tool In The English Classroom, pp. 82)

Symbolism/Meaning “After we have isolated a symbol, we must interpret it, that is, match the symbol with a meaning that has been previously learned. For example, we memorize the definitions of words and the conventions of grammar and expression to be able to read. From our experience listening to radio, we know that certain sounds signal the lead-in to news, certain voices convey humor or seriousness, certain sounds convey danger or silliness. With television or film, we learn the meaning of flashback, an extreme close-up on a character’s face, character stereotypes, and what to expect in the unfolding sequence of a detective show. We have learned to connect certain symbols with certain meanings.” (Source: Media Literacy (2nd Ed.) , pp. 42)

Language of Film: Art Direction

“a production designer is responsible for the physical environment in which the action and the meaning of a film takes place, interpreting the psychology and emotion of a screenplay and relaying that in visual form.” attributed to Robert Boyle “the art director must convince viewers that the world of the film is undeniably real …”

” …it is the art director who stands between the screenplay and the director of the film, turning the printed page into a place real or fanciful, constructed or found, and who does so for a price the producer can live with.”

“….if an art director is doing his or her job well, we as spectators are not consciously admiring the ‘look’ as separate from the story unfolding and the characters involved.” (Source: Film study guide, To Kill A Mockingbird)
