Get students to predict elements of the film based on the music. Students may think about mood, colours of the animation will make use of, the message of the animation, techniques used by the animator, particular images. List these suggestions on the board in categories. - Show the animation from the beginning until 3 minutes 10 seconds. Discuss how accurate they were with their predictions. || <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> - Guide discussion in order to think about what the elements of the animation may be but also why they will be there. Assist students with appropriate language (e.g. words to describe angles/framing, based on lesson 3). Write answers on board. - Assist students in comparing and contrasting their statements. Write changes on the board. || <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> B) Visual analysis of still frames: 20 minutes - Divide students into 8 groups (4 groups studying compositional meanings, 4 groups studying interactive meanings); roughly 3 or 4 students in each group. - Each group gets 2/3 techniques to study and deconstructs the image. Each group will get an A4 paper with the technique written at the top and a brief explanation of that technique. - The 2 groups studying compositional meanings will first work with the teacher to clarify any difficulties and give a deeper explanation of the techniques. The 2 interactive meanings groups will then attempt to decompose the image based on previous knowledge. - After 10 minutes the teacher will then work with the interactive meanings groups for deeper analysis and correction of any misunderstandings. || <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Because students have briefly worked with interactive meanings, the teacher will first work with the 2 groups studying compositional meaning. || <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> C) Application of analysis: 15-20 minutes - A compositional meaning group then joins up with an interactive meanings group. Students exchange knowledge about their deconstructions. - Students then collectively choose an element that has a strong influence on the images they have (e.g. the framing). - They must then change this element by adding features/deleting features to the still image. Students may draw on the plastic sleeves with the projector markers. - Students then write why they chose to change this element, what the effect that element had before it was changed, what the new effect is. || <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Teacher may question the students’ decisions for choosing that particular element. Guide students in what they plan to change. Clarify any concepts if needed. || __<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> Concluding strategy: 10 minutes __<span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> - Each group presents the still image they have changed, why they chose that element to change, what effect this has, and any other strong features of the image. Teacher reviews presentation skills (tone of voice, body language, pausing, repetition). Students ask questions for clarification. - Recap what has happened so far at the beginning of the animation, ask students to predict once again what will happen. Watch the rest of the animation. - Note to students how the movie didn’t have any words or narration, only at the end of where the message of the story was revealed. || - Students will be formatively assessed as the teacher works with each group. Teacher will note and observe the use of appropriate language in describing each of the images. - The analysis of the specific techniques on the A4 paper will allow the teacher to know how deep the knowledge and understanding is. - The change made to their still image and the analysis of that change. || - Students with English as a second language should be placed in appropriate groups to assist with metalanguage. Perhaps pairing them with someone of the same background or someone with higher language skills. - Groups should be organised by teachers in such a way to ensure productivity (socially cohesive groups). - If students are struggling with the analysis of techniques the teacher should provide them with further examples and explanation. || - Were students able to work effectively in their groups? - Were the students about to analyse the visual elements the still images? - Were students engaged in the lesson? - Was there enough time allocated for each part? - Were students able to make connections between the visual techniques used and meanings from the text? - What concepts need to be further developed? ||
