An English Classic

Programme Aims

To examine and explore:

• the creative and technical stages involved in producing an animation
• ways in which meaning is conveyed in image and sound
• how a fourteenth century text can be made accessible and enjoyable for a modern audience

This Online Extra support material is designed primarily for secondary school English and Media Studies teachers and for KS4/post 16 pupils' use. Third level students taking Medieval and Media Studies options may find the material of interest. The notes may also be of use to the general public who enjoy the Channel 4 treatment of 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', and wish to find out more about the processes involved in producing animations.
