Lesson 1
The creative intention
Whenever you go and make some film in the IB course, you must define your creative intention. That intention must go at the start of your reflective journal post and should be in your mind as you are making the film or completing the exercise.
You should also use this creative intention to measure how successful you have been. Did you meet your intentions, did you learn anything new or even by accident? How far do you think the finished product (edit) meets your initial intentions? It really doesn’t matter if it doesn’t learning happens all the time, so long as we are open and reflective learners.
So, what is our ‘creative intention’ for this week?
“To explore how basic framing and movement can communicate meaning in film.”
Here are our rules on using departmental equipment.
