Original article published 2014, updated August 2022
I was out running on the coast near my home a few years back when I came across the remains of Lavernock Fort, a Second World War gun battery. It seemed like a great location for a short film.
I like to use short examples at the beginning of my filmmaking courses, to help people realise how much is involved in telling a story with film. So I decided that my film would use a variety of shot sizes, lenses, sound, editing and camera angles.
I came up with a story about someone discovering a mysterious object. I drafted a storyboard in pencil ..read more

‘Creative Film in Schools’ is a new report which describes an innovative film project in South Wales primary schools.
Film and Digital Media is one of the five disciplines in the Expressive Arts area of the new curriculum. So how can Primary school children learn about film and use it creatively?
With the support of Ffilm Cymru Wales and the British Film Institute, Learnaboutfilm piloted a project that involves film viewing and filmmaking.
The approach was based on the established international programme Le Cinéma, Cent Ans de Jeunesse (Cinema, 100 Years Young).

I’ve decided to make my original editable movie EditShots available on a pay what you want basis for private and educational/nonprofit use.
Editshots includes 55 video clips, audio clips, and a step-by-step PDF editing lesson. This short film sequence has been used in hundreds of schools around the world. Users can learn about shot selection, camera position and angle, movement, and the continuity system.
Why is it free?
EditShots was originally filmed on miniDV tape and has been upscaled to 720p HD, so the image quality isn’t up to modern standards.
If you want higher-quality and more varie ..read more
