出自乐成小学生之手的微电影斩获国际大奖

今天小编搜罗了出自乐成小学生之手的微电影斩获国际大奖希望给择校的家长们提供参考。

2021年早些时候，北京乐成国际学校（BCIS）的社区传播着一部BCIS学生自制的公益微电影，随后这部电影在北京家长圈广泛传播，并先后入围釜山国际儿童电影节Ready-Action决赛单元、斩获首届全国少年儿童短视频征集活动“最佳短片奖”以及Lunchbox Imagination国际儿童电影节最佳影片奖等多项殊荣。这部片名为《19》的微电影从演员到拍摄者和主创团队均由BCIS小学部学生组成，以短短5分钟时间传递出一群四五年级小学生对新冠疫情与社会现实问题的思考和态度。

电影，是世界观的阐述与自我探索的表达

微电影《19》聚焦疫情之下的个人健康安全，以人们对在公共场合需要佩戴口罩这一社会行为表现出的不同做法与态度为切入点，通过电影叙事融入数字特效，在现实与超现实中转换观察视角，表达对社会上发生的事件、现状和问题的思考与理解。BCIS重视学生向外探索的能力培养和向内探索的思维构建，每个人都是自己和这个世界的叙事者和创作者。

在学校IB课程框架中“我们如何表达自己”是探究单元之一。电影是除了语言、绘画、音乐等另一种艺术表达形式，不仅是探索和链接世界的方式，也同样是表达自我的方式。微电影《19》的总导演、BCIS电影指导老师Jack认为，从小接触电影能让学生们早早地了解并掌握如何通过电影表达自己，运用电影语言与他人沟通，用另一种眼光和角度观察和探索这个奇妙的世界。Jack成长于电影世家同时拥有12年的视觉艺术教学经验，他说：“这个世界不断地涌现新事物替代旧事物。BCIS坚持提供支持学生创造未来的教育和课程，因此当传播媒介过渡到数字媒体时我们的课程也是与时俱进的。”以探究为主要工具的课程正是实现“与时俱进”的最佳途径，探究学习可以激发学生的求知欲和学习兴趣。探究过程包括发现问题、寻找方法、解决问题并保持反思，如此的闭环学习可以帮助学生逐步成长为终身学习者。《19》就是一次BCIS小学生个人及团队探究项目的过程及结果呈现。

链接全球问题，以艺术形式提供解决方案

BCIS提供给学生的是能够让他们创造未来的教育，能够适应未来变化的教育，可以运用所学面对变化和挑战、得出解决方案的教育。学习要链接个人经历并建立在先前的知识和理解之上，让学习发生在真实社会和社区中，真正成为解决现实问题的工具。面对突如其来的疫情，BCIS的学生和老师给出的思考结果和解决方案之一就是视觉艺术发声。“我们希望呼吁大家自觉佩戴好口罩，相比冰冷的制度规定和苦口婆心的说教，我们觉得讲故事也许是更容易让大众接纳的方式。”《19》的主创学生Pangpang如是说。

做探究项目需要运用跨学科的知识和技能。在《19》的制作过程中，涉及到脚本台词的文学，绘制分镜的美术，拍摄时的摄影技术，自制轨道摄影车的物理学和工程力学等。参与探究项目不仅要学会知识与技能，更重要的是探究并找到解决问题的方法，并能够迁移和应用到更多的生活场景中。在BCIS，老师通过游戏培养学生的个人兴趣，以问询式的引导方式将这些游戏与课程涉及的所有领域联系起来。进入小学二年级后，学生们开始通过分享核心观点、找出学习兴趣所在、继续发展探究技能。BCIS小学部创客老师Alex介绍道，BCIS小学课程中包含艺术创作指导框架（Creative Cycle），以电影创作为例分为探索、设计、创作及反思，每个过程同时包括若干个角度供学生探究和创作。老师的角色则是按照指导框架引导学生们完成探究项目，给予有力的支持和专业的指导。

也许在电影节斩获众多提名和奖项仅是海面之上的风景，项目从无到有的过程才是海面之下的深远与沉淀。重返学校的《19》创作团队的同学们一有时间就会跑去找导演“Mr. Jack”，围着他询问更多关于电影的知识和技艺，孩子们希望自己的电影能传播到好莱坞，他们的电影之旅才刚刚开始......

With the whole world trapped in the pandemic, people everywhere were having to change the way they went about their daily lives. Our students and teachers adapted to their new learning conditions, and these changes did not stop the students at BCIS from creating some amazing projects. In fact, our Elementary School student news team, BCIS TV, was inspired by the challenges brought about by the pandemic to create an amazing film that spread a positive message to the school, the community, and the world. Titled "19", the short film would not only urge fellow students to wear their masks to protect against the spread of the dangerous disease, but it would also go on to win awards at various international film festivals, inspiring countless other children around the world to stay safe and protect others! 

Along with their teacher, Jack, who served as director, and assistant director Michael, students Charlotte, PangPang, Mark, Henry, Sophie, Thomas, Catharine, David, and Vincent got to work writing, directing, filming, and acting out the movie "19". The students, along with Jack, all felt it was important for everyone to wear a mask in order to protect themselves, as well as others. By using film, the group was able to show people why they should take such preventative measures against the virus, instead of simply telling them. The students all felt that this was a more effective way to communicate the message of selfless safety to their audience. "We wanted to create it in a more visually exciting way, to share ideas with others... and share to the world," they commented. 

"19" opens with Charlotte, PangPang, and Sophie, talking; meanwhile, their friend Mark is being chased by a Coronavirus! The large, animated virus gives chilling life to something that would otherwise be invisible, which helped the BCIS TV crew show their message more vividly. While the group at first doesn't believe Mark, they soon see the virus themselves. Seeing such a scary sight shocks the students into all hurriedly putting on their masks. The student actors said that the film had a large impact on the school, causing many of their fellow students to follow the film and safely wear a mask. The short film serves as a great reminder that we should all do our part to stop the spread of the virus by wearing masks and taking precautions against it. 

This captivating movie empowered the cast of BCIS TV to communicate the importance of wearing a mask during the pandemic, and it also gave them valuable experience in project-oriented learning. In addition to filmmaking and acting, Jack was also able to teach the students important skills such as creative writing, project responsibility, problem-solving, teamwork, and design. He believes it is important to inspire his students to learn how to express themselves through film. He tells his students that everyone can be a storyteller:"When you are sleeping and dreaming, your brain is telling a story itself. When you see a student daydreaming, they aren't wasting their time, they are just in the middle of a creation process." While many classes focus on project-based learning, film class gave the students the unique experience of creating a story for "19" and leading the process of recording it. 

Problem-solving skills turned out to be some of the most important for the BCIS TV team, as making the nearly eight-minute-long short film was a long and difficult process. The group completed the film after several months of hard work. Writing the script took lots of teamwork, and students said that they were able to combine their different ideas into one better one. Filming often required many takes, as the actors had to practice their lines and not look directly at the camera. The students even had to make their own film dolly out of sustainable materials from the Maker Space, that could slide and carry the camera! Although the project was quite challenging, the students were able to improve at writing, acting, and working together with the help of Jack. 

All the hard work the BCIS TV team put into "19" paid off: their final movie fantastically produced and acted, and it also won several awards at film festivals in China and abroad. Jack submitted "19" to many international film festivals, including the Busan International Kids and Youth Film Festival in Korea, and the Imagination Lunchbox International Children's Film Festival in the United States. Their fantastic film won awards at these festivals, making the students "excited," "happy," "proud," and proved that all the hard work on the movie was “worth it.” The reward for the effort they put into the movie was an excellent way to show them how talented they are, as well as how their message about safety spread all over the world. 

We extend our warmest congratulations to the BCIS TV learners and Jack. The project that the students led and created was worthy of high praise, both for its rich, imaginative production as well as its important message on wellbeing. Through their film,  the students demonstrated their excellent talents,  and their sincere desire to help create a safer world. These facts were clearly appreciated by viewers around the world, as "19" has helped to inform an international audience about the dangers of the virus. With such a project, students created their own story, gained new skills in film and teamwork, showed others a significant idea, and, most importantly, had fun! The BCIS TV crew will be able to take these important lessons with them, whether they continue acting or not. Some of the students are sure they will go on to work together as producers, actors, and directors, proclaiming, "Were going to Hollywood!"
