The Iron Man by Year 3

March 19, 2014
Recently, year 3 pupils read The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and watched the film adaptation, The Iron Giant. As part of their study, they looked at the way that stories can be made into films; thinking about different types of camera angles and their effect on the viewer, how sound and sound effects are used and how films are marketed.

After watching the film, 3RG wrote short adverts to develop their persuasive writing skills. They also made impressive Iron Giant costumes to wear while making film trailers. They presented their work in a very entertaining Best Work Assembly.




3HS planned, created and made their own film trailers for The Iron Man.  They looked at persuasive techniques and conventions used by existing trailers before making their own. The children created plasticine models and sets then used iStopMotion and iMovie on iPads to film, add sound and edit their own film trailers.
