Project Pinewood: geo-literacy context

Preparing some thoughts for SAGT 2010 Conference later in the year, and have been looking at ideas for literacy.
Here's my title slide (I always like to get that out of the way first...)

Thanks to the legendary Noel Jenkins (who will also be at SAGT again this year if you need a further reason to head North...) for the image of the Giant's Chair of Natsworthy (which would make an issues-based piece of work all by itself...)

One context I'm exploring at the moment is related to the creative industries which are based at Pinewood Studios.

PROJECT PINEWOOD is a great context for geographical investigations....

Pinewood is a film studio in Buckinghamshire.
The Project is aimed at developing a range of film locations and other facilities. The website has a PINEWOOD TV section with a range of useful resources.

Thinking of an exercise which might include choosing and sourcing film locations for scenarios using Google Street View.

Some regional tourist boards already make the most of their LOCATIONS: such as the North of England.

UK Film Council website has some useful detail on this aspect of film production....
More to come on this as the resource develops...
