Unit. 5.3
Description: Planning a film production. Students are introduced to the jobs of pre-production in film.
Student’s are put into groups and choose a script from a series of short scripts. Students ‘DIVIDE AND
CONQUER’ as individuals break down each of the jobs that are required before the film starts filming.
How do people get those jobs?
Prior Learning:
-Storyboarding (animation unit)
Activity Procedure:
Students are introduced to the Pipeline of pre-producton in short film.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHjtHK9mTe8
Script- Needs to be broken down for what is required for filming. Where should this script be shot? How
many people are needed? Costumes? Use highlighters to separate scenes.
Shotlist- Script is broken down into scenes and locations. Right individual shots on cue cards. You can
use these later when scheduling.
Storyboard- Shot List is translated into thumbnail size drawings describing action of the scene.
Location Scouting- Scouting locations for places to film their movies.
Schedule- who develops schedules for filming scenes. Re-visit cue cards. Cue cards of similar shots can
be filmed in a row. This saves time on having to set up the same shot multiple times.
Student groups will ‘Divide and Conquer’ individually researching one of these jobs. How do people get
these jobs? What schooling did they need? What level of education? What are the paths people take to do
these jobs?
Students return to the group when complete and share their findings.

● Anecdotal comments with suggestions for improvement
● Rating scales
Purposes of Assessment
● Assessment for Learning – This is data assessment in both formative and summative. The idea is to
provide feedback for your students on their next steps for Learning – to improve their learning.
● Assessment as Learning – Assessment as learning is a reflective, metacognition process where the
student engages in self-assessment, thinking about their achievement. Once students begin to think
about the overall learning of skills, they begin to become independent thinkers.
● Assessment of Learning – In assessment of learning, the teacher gathers evidence of the students’
achievement through summative activities. This is always based on the course expectations and forms
the basis for the students overall evaluation.
Accommodations
The teacher consults individual student IEPs for specific direction on accommodations for individuals.
The teacher uses a range of teaching/learning strategies to accommodate the needs of all students.
Exceptional students benefit from accommodations in the overall activity criteria, as well as teacher and
peer assistance when appropriate. Written tests are designed to suit students’ reading and writing levels.
The teacher adapts teaching strategies to accommodate learning styles. These may include:
● verbal instead of written tests;
Resources
