Lord Attenborough - Film Education Patron
"I have been an enthusiastic supporter of Film Education
since it
first came into being. It has always provided a vital link
between
one of the UK's most important creative industries and the
young
people who represent its future... It is they who will ensure
that
this magical medium continues to surprise, evolve, innovate
and
above all entertain”.

Mark Kermode - Film Critic and NSFW Patron
“It is crucial to foster and encourage a young cineliterate audience who can
appreciate and enjoy challenging and innovative cinema from around the
world.
National Schools Film Week showcases a wonderful range of international
movies, which promise to capture the imagination of young people
everywhere
and provide a springboard for discussions of the contemporary issues −
such
as the environment, tolerance, bullying, social and racial injustice − which
affect
us all”.

Persuasive Texts
“Watch a trailer for a popular children's film.
Discuss the purpose of the text and the
emotions it
is intended to provoke in readers. Discuss how
the
soundtrack, sound effects, voice-over and
moving
images were used to persuade children to go
and
see the film”.

Film Narrative
“Use key points in the film to discuss features
and
themes. Explore approaches made by the film
maker to create moods, pace and viewpoint.
Develop children's film language by identifying
how
colour, light, sound and camera angles have
been
used to tell the narrative”.
