Teacher PL workshops

Our whole school staff engaged in a 3.5hr PL with Karishma from Film By with a focus to upskill us in what's needed to teach and support our students in planning, filming and editing short films. Karishma presented a very informative and engaging session that involved lots of hands on, practical elements and sharing of resources that can be applied in our classrooms. It was a fun and insightful session that helped our goals around shooting short films seem more achievable and less daunting.

I gained some ideas for quick, hands-on activities that students can complete and I feel equipped to support students in their filming and editing. I found Karishma kind, informative and easy to talk to, which means I know I will be supported if I need help at any time...Thank you so much for this opportunity in a regional area. The students and staff are so excited to be a part of this program.

 – Alyssa Mitchell, Teacher, Kororo Public School (Film By the Jetty teacher workshop)

Was wonderful to meet Karishma and learn about filming. I had use of T4L Stem film kits but I learnt so much more about angles, shots, storyboarding and script writing. And after putting myself in front of a camera and getting over my own insecurities I actually came out feeling more confident. Thank you! Highly recommend!!
