WRITINGShort Film
Introduction - What is a short film?
Short film refers to any film not considered a feature film in terms of length. Although length is the most obvious characterisation of a short film, films of this type will share codes and conventions which separate them from other forms of video.
Refer to the slide below for the codes and conventions.
CODES & CONVENTIONS OF SHORT FILM
Length
A short film will most commonly last between 3 to 20 minutes.
Storylines
Storylines are generally kept simple and easy to follow and will be based over a short period of time. Characters are developed through images and actions.
Character
Due to the length and simplicity in storyline, a short film will usually introduce between 1 and 3 main characters. This is done in order to keep the audience engaged. Short films will usually last only long enough to connect the audience to few characters and will not have a developed enough storyline to hold a large cast.
Twist
Including a twist is a common convention in short film although this is not a general rule and not all short films will use this format. However, a twist allows the film maker to tell a short story in an interesting way and they are able to do this as the short storyline gives less clues to the ending.
Activity
The video you are going to watch below is called “For the Birds”. In this animated film the characters don’t speak, so the story is told only with sound (music and sound effects).
For the Birds - YouTube
Play the short film without watching it, just listen to the soundtrack.
After listening, write down in your work book your prediction of what the story may be about (e.g.) What did you hear? What might be making the sounds (e.g squeaky toys)? What might some of the sounds represent? (eg talking, laughing, teasing, asking questions fighting/arguing) What characters may be in the story? What do you imagine is happening?
Then watch the short story, were your predictions correct? Think about: how did the sound help tell the story?.

This week we will explore multiplication and division.

For the Birds - YouTube
In your workbooks answer the following question:
What codes and conventions (see next slide) relating to short films did you notice? e.g. the length, setting, characters, key theme or message, and storyline.
Think about the underlying theme(s) of belonging/being excluded because of difference/bullying, etc.

Tomorrow you will be creating your own storyboard for this short film, so today think about and write in your workbook some ideas that will help you, such as:
The characters and how they are connected - All the birds on the wire look similar.
Are there any characters that stand out?
Could we possibly give some of them names which describe their personalities or behaviour?
Are there any characters that are like people you know?
Did your feelings towards any of the birds change while watching or after watching the film?

MATHEMATICSWARM UP:
Play the card game ‘snap’. Every time you ‘snap’, you need to multiply the number on the card by a focus times table of your choice E.g. 8x, if you’ve snapped a pair of 4s, you need to do 8 x 4 = 32.
Main activityDice multiplication game
Instructions: 1. Roll 1 die or challenge yourself and use 2 dice to add together 2. Write it in the first box 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 write it in the second box. 4. Multiply the 2 numbers together and write your answer in the 3rd box.
You can play by yourself or have a race with someone at home to see who gets the correct answer first. Set up the game in your book looking like the example below at least 10 times.
Or set a timer and see how many you can complete within a time limit. (5 minutes or 10 minutes).
Example: 1st roll - I rolled 2 dice (5+3) = 8. 2nd roll - I rolled 2 dice (6+3) = 9
X = 8 9 72
