Making Movies Make Sense

Making Movies Make Sense is an interactive guide to running film viewing and filmmaking activities with children and young people, illustrated with dozens of video and still images. It includes advice on equipment, a visual introduction to film language (camera, lighting, sound and editing), and an explanation of the filmmaking process: planning, shooting and editing. It also includes practical activities to support filmmaking and literacy, and suggests films you can use to explain aspects of the filmmaking process.

MMMS is mainly aimed at educators working with children aged from 8 to 14.
