Abstract:

This article will consider the making of animated film by Year 6 pupils (11 years old) based on the story of Little Red Riding Hood, using digital drawing and animation software. It will examine how the act of inscription - making signs on a page or screen using software, pens or other materials - might be different in the context of digital composition of the moving image, and how, at the present time, digital modes of inscription may offer a greater freedom of expression to users, especially in education. The authors locate their theory of digital inscription within a proposal, briefly summarised in the article, of a wider model of a social semiotic grammar of the moving image.
