On the Edge of Your Seat is an active programme with short films and assignments that enables pupils to discover the thrill factor of film. Is it the music? The story? The camera work? All the tricks used by filmmakers to get our hearts racing are carefully examined.
On the Edge of Your Seat
We’ve all had the experience of watching a film and finding you’re on the edge of your seat with bated breath. A real rollercoaster of a film.

The power of visual language
We use viewing assignments and other assignments to explore the power of visual language. Schoolchildren are used to watching films and thinking about the story. But what do you see when you look closer? Teaching pupils to look at the moving image even better is an essential skill in today’s world.
