Overview of unit:
Teaching Phase One
Children watch and re-watch the film The Piano by Aidan Gibbons. They use key points in the film to discuss features and themes and explore approaches made by the film maker to create moods, pace and viewpoint. Children develop their film metalanguage by identifying how colour, light, sound and camera angles have been used to tell the narrative. They use a reading journal to record opinions of the narrative.
Teaching Phase Two
Children have worked as part of a group to use drama strategies to explore characters in depth. They devise questions to ask the main characters and work in role to explore more complex emotional issues. Children demonstrate growing understanding of characters by writing a short conversation at a key point in the film using the conventions of speech punctuation. They use a reading journal to record inferences and demonstrate understanding of characters by writing in the first person.
Teaching Phase Three
Children develop a story board for the narrative by capturing and importing key images into a presentation program. They then write their own version of The Piano, organising writing into paragraphs and creating a multimodal presentation of this version including images, voice-over, soundtrack and written text.

Mini-Task:
Put chn into ‘The Pit’ by showing them the beginning clip of the Disney film UP.
Chn are to complete an analysis grid whilst watching (differentiated) (5 mins)

Quick feedback using beach ball for chn to share aspects of their analysis.

So what do you think our L/O is going to be today?

Discuss potential ideas and then reveal actual L/O and S/C.
Explain that they have one part of the S/C already done but they need to add the second part using their targets. (5 mins)

Explain that over the next two weeks we will be watching a very beautiful film as part of our film narrative unit building up to including this in our animations about the 90s.

Today however we will only listen to the music from the film and your task will be to create a narrative that reflects the music.
