- We have definitely expanded our knowledge about movie making and have developed good movie making skills that we want to share with others. We look forward to continuing our Movie Magic journey and learning more fun ways to extend our movie making skills.
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!
- SolutionHow 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.
