The Sharing Resourses tab (lower right) is organised in way that separates all the submissions and does not make for easy collecting or sharing... so, let's let's share resources here. To start with here one is discovered yesterday: https://pudding.cool/2017/03/film-dialogue/index.html Here are some words from the masters, Scorsese and Lucas Lucas on Communication http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwDXlA_6usI Scorsese on Visual Literacy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I90ZluYvHic Scorsese- Reading the Language of Cinema http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2013/aug/15/persisting-vision-reading-language-cinema/ Here are some resources I can recommend:  //Cinematography// from Focal Press, //Screenplay help// and //Setting up your Shots// plus //Master Shots ( in the same series)// I highly recommend Looking at Movies, mostly for the excellent DVD that accompanies it. Some good free software: Celtx, Adobe Story and Shot Designer (get the paid version)

I don't use a textbook with my film kids. I prefer to have a couple of different textbooks that I leave lying around for kids to reference. Looking at Movies is a good choice however my favourite is this one http://www.amazon.com/Film-Critical-Introduction-3rd-Edition/dp/0205770770 Check out the excellent choice of textbooks from Focal Press. They will send free examination copies to a school/university address. http://www.focalpress.com/books/subjects/film_video_SCAR6540/ <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How to make films like Hitchcock: a series of tutorials begin here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5cxBHJ9_i4 <span style="color: #004a8c; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[|ttps://www.screenaustralia.gov.au/filmmaking/Sample_paperwork/production.aspx] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How to run a film production <span style="color: #004a8c; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">www.ymiclassroom.com <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Film language glossary with multimedia examples provided for film students at the Columbia University's, Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL). <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://ccnmtl.columbia.edu/projects/filmglossary/index.html <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Please check out these YouTube channels for excellent film essays: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Nerdwriter2 <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Cinefix <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Filmschool'd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pU6B2zEFeg <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">and the excellent DLSRGuide for tips on production <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://dslrguide.tv/framing-composition/ <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">While watching your YouTube clip I found this excellent one too <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://www.vysales.com/videos/10-household-hacks-for-filmmakers-indy-news-j4s5n524w465q4q2z4l4y4.html <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For really good sound recorders that are reasonable priced check out the Zoom HN4 or the newer H6 <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=zoom+h4n&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=3482236874&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_8rbmjy0lf_e

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My sources.... <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For a study on the background of Media theory, which also includes an introduction to important image theorists I recommend this excellent website hosted by aljeezera: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://interactive.aljazeera.com/aje/2017/the-listening-post-media-theorised/index.html <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To review the power of visual imagery, I would show the influential media study done by Yolanda Dominguez in which children share their emotional responses to fashion advertisements. While there is a lot to look at in terms of feminist theory, I think it also reminds us of the role media saturation and imagery serves in shaping our lives from an early age: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlShHeU2qU4&t=21s <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like Bryan Cranston's satiric spoof of filming a one-man baseball show. I find the irony earnestly instructive as we learn as much about what to do in a film by what not to do: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://time.com/3388278/bryan-cranston-delivers-a-hilarious-one-man-baseball-show-spoof/ <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I like "Everybody's a Critic. And That's How It Should Be" by NY Times film critic A.O. Scott. It offers students a nice introduction to what it means to take analysis of film and the arts seriously: <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/sunday-review/everybodys-a-critic-and-thats-how-it-should-be.html?_r=0

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wow--great resources, hard to top that! I was going to post about Anatomy of a Scene--I find that to be a great resource.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've always enjoyed reading Anthony Lane for The New Yorker. This could be helpful for teaching film criticism:

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://www.newyorker.com/contributors/anthony-lane

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">David Edelstein for New York Magazine is also very good and serves as a nice contrast in style:

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">http://nymag.com/author/David%20Edelstein

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To help teach students to deconstruct the power of an image and develop their media savvy we use material from Adbusters on occasion:

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">https://www.adbusters.org/

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Brilliant. Thank you so much for these, they will be invaluable next year. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For students having problems finishing their foley sounds, https://www.freesound.org/ is an excellent collection of royalty free sound effects, recorded by users and uploaded. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For royalty free musical samples, rhythms and instrumental loops I have also found http://www.looperman.com to be very good. Obviously I would prefer children to make their own effects and music, but these can be useful. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Both are easy to join and then you can download unlimited effects.
