  • Discuss other techniques that are used in film to create illusions. Examples include stopping the camera and removing the character from the scene to create the illusion of vanishing, or stopping the camera on one object and starting it again on another object to create the illusion of transformation. Often double exposure is used for ghostly appearances; slow motion is used for the feeling of a dream. The teacher can show examples of these techniques and let the students explore some of these techniques with a stationary video camera. Simple shots, like shoes walking across the floor or an orange peeling itself, can be filmed quickly and easily by turning the camera off between each movement.

  • work co-operatively in groups
    (CEL: PSVS)

  • Work in groups to develop ideas, plan and film a video using some of these techniques.
