Life Ed Movie

Movie Challenge reflection

Embed your movie into your blog. Write a reflection underneath that outlines

What your group did well?

We made our characters so they did and said what someone of that age would. Basically we made them believable.

What would YOU do differently next time?
I would try make the teacher costume more believable and get more into the characters place because I don't think the teacher was very good.

Based on the criteria, how would you improve your movie if we gave you time.
Criteria:
Teamwork
Able to work collaboratively as a team to produce a movie
I think that it was a pretty good movie but the one thing that we could improve was the sound quality in some places. If I could I would plug in a microphone so the sound quality was even.


Quality of message -
Life Ed theme. Shows understanding or learning from Life Ed programme
Able to use film making conventions
Camera angles, dramatic intention
Sound quality
Ability to ensure all dialogue is heard
We made our movie and we tried to make it interesting by using different angles and dramatic intention the sound quality wasn't the best that is probably one place to improve because you could hear it but it wasn't that clear in some spots.

WAIMARINO

From my perch above the water I watched as crowds of loud noisy children swarmed into the Waimarino Adventure Park yelling excitedly at each other. Then the noise started to fade as the teachers settled the hypoactive children. The large group headed down to the far end of the park out of my sight. Ten minutes later the children came back in crowds disappearing into the small changing room then coming out dressed in togs, wetsuits, thermals and more.

After that I watched kids plunge into the dark murky water the flinging their arms about paddling like mad to reach the shore. Once they had all done their supposed swim test they scattered in different directions to the other activities. I watched as people swung off the platform holding onto the rope then falling in to the water yelling and making a fuss. Also, I stared as the kids came flying from no where on mats and in kayaks. I laughed as kids fought each other on the gladiator pole shoving each other to make them fall off. I watched as kids flew into the air only to come strait back down into the water. I also observed the kids who did back flips off my cold solid back.

Later on I watched as the kids climbed into the kayaks and paddled out onto the calm lake. Then some of the children tried to stand up but they ended up falling into the water. Then they made a large circle out of kayaks while the instructor gave them instructions.

When they came back they when down to the tent got their gear and came back to get changed then just like they had suddenly arrived they left.

Ceramic Painting

During the holidays I went to a ceramic painting class to learn to and create a ceramic item. I make a cupcake trinket box to hold my jewellery in. The lesson started by learning how much paint we needed,  what we had to do, how many layers of paint etc. After that we got to choose what we were going to paint. As I said I made a cupcake trinket box. Once we finished painting the they all went into large trays ready to be fired in the kiln. Then we had to wait one week because the trays had to be full before they went in to the  kiln.

Here is me painting the cupcake:

 Here are the colours we got to choose from:

Visiting The Elderly

04/09/14

Today me and mum made a meal for one of the elderly ladies in our church. We made her a casserole with mashed potato and broccoli. We started by putting the casserole on early in the morning then later on we mashed some potato and cooked some broccoli. When all of that was done we put it in a container and took it to her house. She said that it was a very nice thing to do.
