Introducción a Trans-lingual Express Introduce the Trans-lingual Express website. Based on the TLX model, students are going to create their own short documentary films in Spanish, on the theme of fashion and youth culture. Their films will be 5-6 minutes long and aimed at young Spanish speakers. Screen the film The Shoe on the Spanish section of the TLX website. To give an insight into Spanish teenagers and their views/approaches, you can screen the Madrid-made film Madrid Fashion. Comentarios: ¿Cómo se aproximaron los estudiantes al tema? ¿Cómo se puede lograr un lugar de rodaje más interesante? ¿Cómo lograron reunir diferentes opiniones/puntos de vista? ¿Cuáles fueron los puntos fuertes del film? ¿Qué harías diferente?

Estilo de realización Re-play clips from the film to demonstrate the use of different shot styles. Ask students to reflect on the way the film has been constructed. ¿Qué os pareció el sonido? ¿Qué tipos de tomas usaron los estudiantes? ¿Como usaron los subtítulos?
Distribute the list of Film Terms. Students can view clips several times until they are satisfied that they have identified shot types and film language correctly.
Screen the TLX 1-minute film on shot types. Comentarios: Ahora deberíais de ser capaces de reconocer e identificar las tomas diferentes en The Shoe. Os acordáis de: ¿La toma de primer plano? ¿La toma de perfil? ¿Como usaron las diferentes tomas?

Introducción a la realización Students work in groups of 4 or 5 (depending on the number of cameras available). Each group is given a camera and try out the camera functions. Invite a student from each team to demonstrate and talk through one function to the whole class.

The One Minute Film challenge Each group has 15 minutes to experiment with different shot types and to create a 1-minute film, on any subject, using only the space, objects and people available to them in the classroom.
Students are given the opportunity to immediately apply what they have learned and to explore possibilities within a limited timeframe, working as a team
The mini films must include a shot of each member of their team and students only speak Spanish when being recorded. Their films will be edited ‘in camera’, so they will need to watch back each take and re-record over any errors to get the sequence they want. 10 min
The class views the ‘finished’ one-minute films and feed back to each group.
Students responses can encompass the new language in context
Comentarios: ¿Cuales métodos son útiles para que un sujeto sea más fácil de seguir? ¿Retratado más interesante? ¿Cuáles fueron los retos más grandes a la hora de intentar tramitar una idea en un minuto?
15 min
Planning techniques Groups can now brainstorm ideas for the content of their films. Teams take 15 minutes to write up a list of issues they would like to explore within their project theme of La moda y la juventud, and to brainstorm some ideas for presenting the issues in their film.
Students are encouraged to explore the theme of youth culture and fashion through cross-curricular subjects and a diversity of issues
Apart from a focus on music to explore fashion and youth culture, other topics might include: La moda en nuestra ciudad La moda y la igualdad social La moda y el cine

Interview techniques The 8-line interview challenge will help students prepare for scripting their films and develop their interview techniques in the target language.
If possible, allow students to use a space / spaces other than the classroom to film their practise interviews.
Groups take 5 minutes to create 8 questions around the theme of la moda y la juventud. They then use these to make a filmed interview with another group eg group A will interview group B, then exchange. (With an odd number of groups, group A can interview groups B and C together.) They can film their interviewee group all together or individually. The finished interviews must last no longer than 3 minutes. Play back the interviews to the whole class. Comentarios: ¿Qué tomas funcionan mejor en una entrevista? ¿Qué tipo de preguntas resultan en las respuestas más interesantes? ¿Como se puede trasmitir el sujeto durante la entrevista? (a medio de imágenes y/o sonido?)

Homework:
Next lesson:
Prepare an outline and Assign Team Roles
Storyboarding – making a visual plan and Scripting
Students now have the opportunity to apply what they have learned to the planning of their documentaries. Having experimented with how much can be conveyed in one minute of film and how to plan and record an interview, the students next need to look at the issues they would like to explore and think in greater detail about how their short film will be constructed, taking into account: - Cuantos días/lecciones tienen para la realización - Cuantos lugares de rodaje serán posibles - Cuanto tiempo tienen para editar la película y la banda sonora Students bring to the next lesson a written outline of their group’s documentary, including the specific issues/questions they will explore and how they will gather the material they need within the project timeframe.
To support their preparation of a detailed script, students can create a visual plan of their film using the storyboarding tool on the TLX website. Invite students to start by thinking about how to the visual (and audio) style of their film might correspond with the issues they have chosen to focus on. Ask students to refer to the Film Terms list and the brainstormed list of issues they wish to explore.
Assign Team Roles Refer students to the TLX Film Terms list. The next part of their planning is to decide roles and responsibilities within their teams. While each student will ideally get to do some filming and sound recording, it can be practical to assign certain roles to one member of the group. Ask students to think about who will manage what tasks while they produce their film, and if they are to share roles, who will take the lead to ensure each area is well managed (equipment, tapes, music, props etc).
