This resource is part of the following theme

Get Into Filmmaking: Six Sessions from Story to Screen is a programme of filmmaking guidance, aimed at both Into Film Club leaders and members. It aims to simplify filmmaking, enhance the development of filmmaking skills and give a clear structure on how to make a film in half a term. As the name suggests there are six individual sessions, each based around a key question, which are accessible to young people of all age ranges.

Get Into Filmmaking: Six Sessions from Story to Screen is designed to guide Into Film Club leaders and members through pre-production activities such as scriptwriting and storyboarding, to film production itself, including camera shots, lighting and sound effects, to postproduction, editing and next steps such as entering the finished films into the Film of the Month competition and the Into Film Awards.

Ceir adnoddau Cymraeg yma hefyd / Welsh Language versions are also availalbe.

Each week is based around a specific key question, focusing members on developing both their filmmaking and life skills such as teamwork, communication or problem solving:
Week 1 What makes a successful film?
Week 2 How can we plan a film?
Week 3 What do we need to do before we start filming?
Week 4 How do we shoot a film?
Week 5 Can editing improve our film?
Week 6 How can we showcase, share and celebrate our film?

 

Mae Canllawiau Gwneud Ffilm 6 wythnos yn raglen i arweinwyr ac aelodau Clwb Into Film. Eu nod yw symleiddio'r broses o greu ffilmiau, gwella datblygiad sgiliau cynhyrchu a rhoi strwythyr clir ar sut i wneud ffilm mewn hanner tymor. Mae chwech sesiwn unigol, pob un yn seiliedig ar gwestiwn allweddol, sy'n hawdd i'w ddilyn i bobl ifanc o bobl oedran. 

Cynllunwyd yr adnodd i dywys arweinwyr ac aelodau glybiau Into Film drwy weithgareddau cyn-gynhyrchu megis ysgrifennu sgriptiau a byrddau stori, i gynhyrchu ffilm ei hun, gan gynnwys saethiadau camera, goleuo ac effeithiau sain, i ôl-gynhyrchu, golygu a camau nesaf megis rhoi'r ffilmiau gorffenedig i mewn i gystadleuaeth Ffilm y Mis a Gwobrau Into Film.

Mae pob wythnos yn seiliedig ar gwestiwn allweddol penodol, sy'n canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu sgiliau gwneud ffilmiau y disgyblion a sgiliau bywyd fel gwaith tîm, cyfathrebu a ddatrys problemau:
Wythnos 1 Beth sy'n gwneud ffilm lwyddiannus?
Wythnos 2 Sut gallwn ni gynllunio ffilm?
Wythnos 3 Beth sydd angen i ni ei wneud cyn dechrau ffilmio?
Wythnos 4 Sut ydyn ni'n saethu ffilm?
Wythnos 5 A all golygu wella ein ffilm?
Wythnos 6 Sut gallwn ni arddangos, rhannu a dathlu ein ffilm?

Updating our resources

We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.
