How do Into Film Clubs work?

Ages
All ages
We've partnered with Scouts to bring the magic of storytelling and filmmaking to Scout groups across the UK.
We've collated a selection of fun, bite-size activities to inspire young people to tell their own stories through film. Scout members will learn new skills, get creative, and even have the chance to earn a special Into Film blanket badge to add to their collection.
Storytelling through film is a great way for young people to express themselves, build confidence, and work as a team.
Learning how to write short stories, turn them into scripts, storyboard, and create short films helps young people to develop important skills for life, and perhaps their future career.
Start your filmmaking journey today with your Scout group - a chance to get creative and have fun.
You can find our collection of bite-size 15-minute filmmaking resources for Scout groups to use here:
Once you've completed the above activities, you can put everything you've learned into practice with our longer Shoot and Screen activities below. These will take 90-120mins to complete, and will see you plan and create your own short film.

Updating our resources
We have developed a large catalogue of educational resources since launching in 2013, and some references and terminology will inevitably have dated as society and language evolves. We are aware of this and will be updating resources when our production schedule allows.
