Visual literacy: beeldvaardigheid

Today

• We will be working on your visual skills: how to look at images, clips and films critically
• Why: because imagery can be used to trick you. So it is good to develop those skills. Example (thank you Nienke)
  
• We are using a film trailer to train with.

Lesson goals; training your 21st century skills...

Visual literacy

1. Some guiding questions to prepare for watching
   
2. Questions to be answered during watching
   
3.  A small assignment after watching
   

Before watching

Before watching:
Who's this?

Before watching the trailer

• Have you ever seen a movie or tv series based on this character yourself?
• What era/time period do his adventures take place?
• What do you remember about his character? 
• What does he do?  What are his motives?
• Discuss this with your neighbour and come up with some answers.
  

Film trailer

We will watch the trailer two times.

First time around: Write down two similarities between the Robin Hood you know and the Robin Hood in this version. Also: write down two differences.

Second time around: who's the bad guy? How does the director make this clear in the scenes?

Think about: clothing, lighting, (background) music, camera angles etc.

After watching

If you could be a Robin Hood, who would you steal from and whom would you give it to?

What are your reasons?

Again: discuss with person next to you. End of lesson: come up with your brilliant ideas for redistributing wealth.
