Activities

Media Studies: Compare the style of filming used in 'Granton Trawler' and the film 'Drifters' featured in the previous clip 'I Remember, I Remember (clip 2)', paying particular note to the soundscape and the way that the heroism of the working man is portrayed.

Biology / Health and Wellbeing: Research into the causes of seasickness and how can it be dealt with or overcome. You may also want to compare the causes of seasickness to vertigo and labarynthitis.

Music: The music in this film is an interesting mix of diegetic and non-diegetic. Taking this film as a starting point, create a piece of music inspired by the sea.

English: Come up with a series of questions that you would like to the fisherman to answer.

English: Grierson mentions that the trawler, the "Isabella Greig" was lost at sea six months after the film was made. Research the "Isabella Greig" (http://www.scran.ac.uk/database/record.php?usi=000-180-002-038-C) and write a report about its loss.

Geography / Rivers and Coasts / Maths / Problem Solving: Research the dangers of fishing and how many boats were lost at sea each year. Make graphs showing the total and percentage losses over time to decide how much safer fishing is today than in the past.

Physics: Research the different reasons why a boat pitches, rolls and yawls and why these movements are so difficult to control.
