Welcome to the FÍS Film Project
FÍS is a successful film project currently thriving in primary schools across Ireland. The initiative encourages children to explore the medium of film in the primary classroom developing essential skills in moving-image literacy, communication, teamwork, visual arts and even numeracy … oh yes, and it’s also lots of fun!
The FÍS methodology empowers teachers and children to explore the medium of film and digital media in the primary curriculum. FÍS helps develop many different areas of the primary curriculum and in particular develops active learning, creative thinking, language, imagination, collaborative learning and problem solving skills as well as giving children hands-on experience of using creative technology as part of the film making process.
FÍS Film Project is a collaborative partnership between the Institute of Art, Design & Technology (IADT) and the Professional Development Service for Teachers (PDST)

Pre-production planning is so important in film-making! So Todays Tip from #MakeAFilmAtHome series "Develop A Good Game Plan for your film!" 1.Create scenes that use realistic locations & resources available to you. 2. Use Storyboard + Shotlist so all shots required at a location are shot in one visit - even if not in sequence. #SaveTime 3. Shoot in LANDSCAPE for a better image. 4. #ShootToEdit - Shoot the same scene from multiple camera angles so the editor can choose best shots to tell the story to best effect. #GamePlanForSuccess #ShootSmart More from the Live Action Film-making Lesson Plans at www.fisfilmproject.ie + #MakeAFilmAtHome blog series for a fast track intro to making films at home! 🔗 in the BIO! 🏡🎬🏡🎬
Todays Tips from #MakeAFilmAtHome series #UsingAvailableLight 1. Outdoors - position the actor with the sun behind for a rim-around-head effect + even-lighting-on-face effect + no-squint effect! ☀️😎 2. Indoors – use existing artificial light or lamps in the room as KEY light or FILL lights. 🛋️ 3. Indoors - stand your subject by a window but be careful not to shoot directly into the window light!
