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 Learning Goals for Term 2 2012.

THE BEACH HOUSE ON MAPLE STREET!

Once upon a time there were three boys that lived in a beach house. They had everything they wanted in that beach house. They had ice blocks for hot days at Mission Bay.

One day there was no more ice blocks left and it was a sunny day and the tide was out and the only place they could go to was the house on Maple Street because there is shade there. They went there and they found lots of smoke in the kitchen. The sun was so hot that day that it came through the window and heated up old newspaper. The fire got bigger and bigger and by the time they had realized it had already burnt down half of the house. They all said, “How do we get out?”. The fire was burning faster and faster. They had a plan. There was a window on the top of the house. They got an old sheet and swung it around and got it on the light and jumped on the wall. It worked!!! They climbed way up and they got out before the house burn down even more.

They were so relieved!! That was a close call they all said to one another. All three boys walked home and decided never to go into strangers houses, no matter what!
