Our Story Builder resource is aimed at pupils aged 7-11, and enables learners to develop their understanding of the basic building blocks of film - the 3Cs and 3Ss of film, colour, character, camera, story, sound and setting - to create imaginative narratives of their own. They will be able to use our interactive workbook to plan their own films stage by stage. Each engaging and accessible element of the resource can be used as a stand-alone activity, or combined, so that learners can plan or make a film composed entirely of their own ideas. The resource allows pupils to work alone or collaboratively to develop characters, build their story arc, decide on settings and even design their very own film posters. Story Builder engages with the curriculum seamlessly, harnessing the unlimited creative talent of young people. There are countless stories in the world, all waiting to be told - help your pupils to tell theirs. “As a teacher it is heartening to see children so engaged with their imaginations when completing the Story Builder tasks and creating their own unique story” - Bernadette Boyle, Primary School Teacher
