Manaiakalani Film Festival-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.

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. 

Interesting

What interested you about this unit?

• The editing process.  
• Adding sound effects and music to our movies.  
• Learning how professional film makers make movies and trying to develop their skills throughout the process of our film making experience.  
• Learning the movie elements helped us to make our movies interesting to watch! 
•  
• 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. 

My Speech about Chocolate

Rock star presentation

Spooky Halloween Night

                                           Orientation:
One day in America two best friends lived in a big city named HollyWood. Sophie and Nikki loved  halloween and always played together they did everything like play and do each others makeup and if Nikki was upset Sophie would cheer her up by doing funny faces and being silly and tomorrow was halloween they were so excited  and they always went together when trick - or - treating . The next day was halloween Sophie yelled at nikki “ It’s halloween get up already nikki ”.

Sophie and Nikki always did everything together...

Problem :
They got dressed and headed off they came past this weird looking house  then Nikki said “hey let’s  go check that place out  Sophie !”  
Sophie replied “ sure then but don’t forget this was your idea”.  
Nikki replied “ yeah yeah whatever now come on !”. When they got to the house they knocked on the door and then a weird looking man appeared at the door  and said  “ what  do  you want ” he looked as if he was in a bad  mood and then Nikki said “ uh why do you think were here ! ”  
not soon after she said that the man said in a very cross voice  I will kill you in your sleep then Sophie and Nikki ran all the way home with terror.
Solution:
After that terrible halloween night they had told their parents about everything and they rang the police and told what street what house and the police had told the two friends  that they were safe and that they caught a criminal and murderer and their parents were relieved  those two little friends were safe .

The boy that nearly drowned

Thursday 8  March





WALT write a narrative story based on our artwork.

One day there were two boys named Sam and Matt, who lived with their Dad. In the morning they brushed their teeth and packed their stuff to go to the beach. It was a hot sunny day. Sam and Dad were ready, but Mat was not ready at all, so they went and packed his stuff  as well. Finally they were all ready to go to the beautiful beach.   
                                                                                         
When they got there Sam dived straight away into the water. He felt refreshed and alive as soon as he dived in. He splished and splashed and jumped all over the place. All of a sudden Sam realised he had swum out too far. Sam started to panic. He was thrashing in the water which was making him weak. He knew from his swimming lessons at school not to panic. He stopped moving around and put his hand up out of the water, hoping his Dad and Matt would see him. His Dad saw him straight away and raced in the water to save him. The lifeguard saw what was happening and dived into to the water as fast as a cheetah. Sam knew to float on is back and wait to be rescued. The lifeguard reached him first and pulled him back to safety.

Sam was very happy to be alive. The lifeguard said he had done the right thing by floating on his back. Dad and Matt were happy too. They all went home knowing that Sam had used his head in the water and were grateful that he had learned how to stay safe in the water.
They went and they had a great great time at home with their Dad.
