Making Short Films
Why do we ask studentsto make short films?
• To summarise a complex learning or assessment process, so students can replay or repeat the information in their own time
• To capture a summary of a core element of the curriculum
• To support students with a range of learning needs
• To reduce students’ reliance on lecturers’ accounts and and handouts
Is any fancy equipment needed?
• No– A simple camera (including, one on a
smart phone), a computer with movie making software, access to web-based sounds and/or images and an imagination
– Your facilitator will provide you with the equipment needed

Tips for Movie Making
• Keep the concept as simple as possible• Try to show two or three scenes only, for
example:– Before and after or – Wrong and right or – Planning and implementation &– An explanation or resolution
• Write a script and rehearse to ensure your film fits within the time requirements
• Try not to laugh
Your Task
• Make a short film which illustrates an aspect of:– Authenticity/commodification or the
experience economy
• Your film should involve at least two actors and should be 3-5 minutes in duration
• If you are filming 2 or more scenes it should be clearly indicated– Eg. By someone saying scene 1, scene 2 etc.
Manage Your Time
