Learn Filmmaking in 2021

As technology becomes ever more accessible, filmmaking has changed from a fringe arts skill into an everyday communications skill – YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, documenting school projects, making video presentations. The technology is there in our pockets. 

Filmmaking is here as a new skill of the 21st century – but how do we teach it?

Nextwave Online: Making film education simple

The Coffs Coast’s Screenwave International Film Festival has launched a new national service for teachers to bring film education into the classroom – no experience required.

Nextwave Online is designed to be taught in a classroom environment by teachers, with 10x 25-minute modules available for 2021 on the dedicated Learning Management System portal. The program can also be taught 100% remotely in a COVID-safe environment.

Teachers are supported to deliver the 10-module program to their students over a school term, with each episode including a dedicated teachers’ companion guide, activity sheets for students, additional resources, and a dedicated monthly support e-newsletter for teachers.

Every teacher and student has individual access, with a class management tool available for teachers to track their students progress.   The program has been developed over six years across 250 in-person workshops, educating 5000+ students.

Watch the video for an example of what is taught in the 10-module program.
