KS1/2 Literacy - Reading Film at KS1: Dangle
An opportunity to view the short, live-action film Dangle, and to find out from writer/director Phil Traill about the making of the film.
Phil reveals where the idea for the film came from, and how the script evolved. He also describes the process of creating a storyboard and the decisions behind the use of different camera shots, such as close-ups, mid-shots and wide shots.
Sound plays a very important role in Dangle, though there is no dialogue and no music. The film also features some clever special effects; notably, making it look as though the sun can be turned on and off via a rope hanging down from the sky.

Great for EAL24 September 2009 - 19:49I teach an EAL class of mixed year 5/6 and they have thoroughly enjoyed this work. We did a lot of work on facial expressions and each child recreated the movie through drama. I downloaded some wind music, had a child on the light switch with the blinds down and a red chord hanging from the IWB pole and they each made their own 2 minute video. They loved it and it's had a positive effect on their ability to write about the story.

suitable for KS223 July 2008 - 09:12Anne25
I have used this film with upper KS2 as a lesson starter to think about when we have done something we do not wish to admit to. A great PSHE opportunity as well as then using it as a structure for story writing. Very successful. Good for thinking about describing facial expressions as a part of exploring feelings. another lesson was built on this film, exploring using metaphors for sounds we hear in the story. A useful resource.
