We have begun a new unit of work in English, thinking about how film makers communicate story in their productions. We are linking this with the classic text we have been reading and studying (The Wind in the Willows). After watching the first part of a video adaptation, we discussed our impressions. Then, to help us understand how the story was communicated, we went back to the beginning and, watching it again, wrote down every word spoken in the first five minutes of the film to find that there were less than thirty words said and that almost none of these communicated the plot. We then started to think about this was done by other means.
