Inspired by the resilience of the character Mirabel, children will be challenged to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary as they produce their own eco-orchestras – creating rhythms from discarded materials.

Into Film has partnered with the Industry Trust for Intellectual Property Awareness and the Intellectual Property Office for the second year, to produce a new resource for Primary students. Intellectual property supports creativity, innovation, and has an important role to play in both the UK economy, and the creative industries. That is why we're committed to ensuring children and young people are fully aware of exactly what IP is, why it's important, and how it links to children's own creativity and filmmaking. This resource introduces key ideas of intellectual property and copyright, enabling learners to explore concepts of creativity and ownership in relation to film. By becoming creators themselves and exploring the different roles involved in making a film, the activities encourage children to understand and respect intellectual property and want to preserve it in the future.

In this lesson, learners will be introduced to the concepts of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds within films. Using a selection of still images and examples from films, learners will think about the range of sounds and music they can hear and be challenged to categorise them into diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. By understanding the differences in the two types of sounds, learners will be able to apply this knowledge to other lessons in this series.

In this lesson, pupils will use the sound, music and imagery from a film clip to inspire a creative poetry piece. The session provides two possible outcomes for your learners: a sensory poem or a haiku poem.

In this lesson, pupils will learn about personification and the role that music can play in bringing a character to life, even if that character is an inanimate object. Using scenes from short films, learners will analyse how fitting a piece of music is in reflecting a character’s mood. They will then be challenged to source appropriate music for other clips.

In this lesson, learners aged from 7 to 11 will consider how music relates to silent cinema, and they will plan a layered soundscape to be played with an extract from a silent film. As an extension activity, groups can perform their compositions in time to the film content.
