Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012-School is cool

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

Beef Farming


This is a popplet about Beef Farming

GuyFawkes


As the moon shines above us,the  fireworks shot up into the sky with different rainbow colours. The ashes flew above the ground I could taste the farness of the smoke and I could hear the fireworks popping in the sky with different sounds.I felt motivated and excited when the fireworks shot up to the sky with the colours of the rainbow.As I saw lots of people dancing on the streets and I could also hear the laughter of families as the Guy Fawkes shot up in the crystal clear dark sky.What an amazing, spectacular night.

Minus
What challenges did you have with this unit? 
  • Waiting for our turn to film because there was only one flip-cam and a tripod.  
  • We had some groups using the same filming location so we had to wait for them to finish filming and sometimes it ment we couldn't film because they were taking too long. For example the staff room, corridor, reading room etc.
  • We couldn’t film sometimes as some students were away and the weather was not too good as well.  
  • Memorising our lines for our scripts.

  •  
  • Solution
    How could we improve on this unit next time. 
  •   More flip-cams and tripods.  
  • Have the Imovie programme on our netbooks so that we could edit our movies instead of waiting for a group to finish.
