A practical film course for educational technology students is described. The course is designed as an intensive two‐day ‘immersion’ in film techniques and ideas. It begins with the making of simple 16mm animated cartoon films using transparent film and coloured spirit pens. Synchronized sound is incorporated in a second cartoon. After exercises designed to teach the recognition of ‘shots’, the editing and assembly of previously‐shot Super 8mm film material is set as an individual exercise. A short Super 8 film is then planned by each student and also (working in pairs) a further short advertising‐type film. After basic camera instruction these films are shot, the films being edited at a later date. Student reactions to the course are indicated and simple costing is also included.
