Room 7 Movie Tralier from Tamaki Primary on

Manaiakalani film festivel 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.

Guy fawkes

As I stared  into the clear night sky. I waited silently for something to arise.I heard sound of people whispering “When is it going to start”. Suddenly something burst into the sky. It was fireworks , Rainbow colours were exploding . I was shocked and scared at first but soon I got used to it. I saw shiny , beautiful , sparkles explode into the sky. The smell of gunpowder flowed into my nostrils Sounds like banging and exploding filled the air covering atmosphere with the sound of laughter and talking. The taste of smoke swept onto my tongue.  I looked around  and i could see happy families having fun. Inside I felt  extraordinary and   happy and what more could I ask for.

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.
