Re@ct Film Project

By Hannah and Carlie 6M

Our school has entered a film project with each of our Grade 6 classes to produce a 3 minute film to be shown at a film festival in November. As a part of the training students from each class have to attend a series of workshops to help them learn about different aspects of film making.

Session 1

On Wednesday the 12th of July the first group of students from grade 6 went to the film workshop at Saxon House to start learning pre-production skills to prepare to make a film.

Confucius say if you look like you're thinking you  might get an A.	If we look like we're working we might get more brownie points.	Everybody SMILE for the camera!!!!
HI MUM!!!	Kids its time for a game of stick the label on the board.	I'm bored bored bored bored bored bored waiting for something to happen to me.

Session 2

On the 4th of August the second group went to learn the technical skills such as how to use lighting, sound and cameras.

Make sure you get my good side.	I'd like good camera angles, and lighting and world peace sob sob!!!	And on your way out try some of the olives.
Knights of the round table.	Guinevere	Sir Lancelot and Sir Getinthepicturebeforeitistoolate.
Another one of King Arthur's boring lectures.	It's time for some Christmas carols.	Merlin's trying out one off his flying tricks again.
	Mr W - does the W stand for wedges?

Filming (Update by Chanelle)

All three Grade 6 classes have been making a film.

When we set up it takes a while because we have to:

1.   Select a location

2.   Set up the camera and the other equipment  

3. Put the actors in place

When we make a film we need a director, producer, cameraman, lighting operator, sound person, actors, actresses and voice talent.
