Making movies in the classroom

Making movies make sense is a unique Mac/PC CD-ROM that will help children and young people to understand film language.

The effect of camera, sound, light, colour and editing are clearly explained using dozens of specially shot stills, video and audio clips.

How-to sections link theory and practice, and the 'Making a film' section describes how to go about planning, shooting and editing a film.

TV5 - easier access to the best of French-speaking TV

Your pupils will enjoy a look at the favourite TV programmes of their counterparts in French-speaking countries - especially if you suggest this as a topic for exchange of information with your partner link school.

You can now more easily access (and record for off-air replay at school) these on TV5 - a free satellite channel which is funded by the governements of France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada to show the best of public-service broadcasting from French-speaking TV around the world.

TV5 is now (2002) on Sky channel 825 ( available with the family package) - 24 hours a day, every day. Link to http://www.TV5.org for more details, and programme details, and to sign up for a free email newsletter with programme listings.

For example, there are many children's programmes on at weekends particularly. The main evening news (re-broadcast from TF2) is at 7.30 GMT.
