Pembridge Hall Preparatory School for Girls

French Zoom Video Club

At Pembridge Hall we give the children the opportunity to use French by engaging their imagination and creativity.

Everyone is encouraged to use digital cameras and camcorders which can be very motivating. The repetitive "CUT/ACTION" reinforces language learning; at the same time there is plenty of scope for creative input on the part of the children. They will make a short film while they familiarise themselves with a story, zooming in and out of scenes.

The girls will learn the skills of filmmaking by taking on the role of director, cameraman and editor. They can also learn about technology through the use of video cameras and computers. The short film is very visual and easy for an audience to follow.

Some of the comments made by the girls:

"I really like French Club because we do filming, acting and learning. It is a fun way to learn French. You can even learn how to edit your films."

"I chose this club because I want to learn French. I like this club because you have fun. In the club we do lots of filming and we act and do lots of plays."
