The Other Half

Digital Photography We will investigate several aspects of digital SLR photography, including: technical settings (aperture, ISO, etc.) and the effect they have; technique (e.g. lighting, focus effects); post-processing on a computer. We will have a test camera to use, but students will get the most out of the activity if they are able to bring and use their own DSLRs. IntoFilm Join us to watch, discuss and review films. We will watch a rich variety of films in different genres – including classic and more modern films, documentary, foreign language, short and archive film. If watching, discussing and reviewing films appeals to you join us! You’ll be able to enhance your knowledge and appreciation of film, and may even be inspired to write a script or make a film of your own. MFL Claymation Club Come and make a short film in German or French a la Wallace and Gromit using plasticine and your iMotion App. Get creative and develop your languages in a hands-on way.
