Synchronous (Session) The Case for Including Types of Shots and Storyboarding in Video Projects more

Sun, Nov 7, 16:00-16:45 Asia/Seoul

Do you know about the different shots used in film and video, such as close-up, medium shot, and wide shot? Have you tried storyboarding a video project? How about your students? Whether to spend time introducing these is an important consideration when setting a video project. Although it is often said that secondary and university-age students are already fluent in video, they may not have been introduced to these features, so this session will explore the benefits of a “focus on form” in video. As well as getting hands-on and learning about these features ourselves, we will discuss potential benefits for learners’ language use, including supporting more language use throughout project processes, and encouraging more ideas about using language in their finished videos. We will consider some possibilities for introducing these ideas, and also discuss strategies for scaffolding a project sequence to help students come alive as filmmakers. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
