Making movies with story and audience in mind

Shelley Frost’s nonfiction activity book introduces children to making and directing their own movies. Its description places characters and story alongside the practical work of production, framing filmmaking as more than simply recording a scene. It also encourages young filmmakers to consider how an audience might respond to what they create. The supplied description does not identify specific activities or filmmaking tools, so the book’s hands-on approach is clear, but the details of its exercises are not.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in making their own movies
  • Young aspiring directors and performers
  • Kids who want to develop characters and stories for film
