Ready, Set, Create!!! Today for Talent Development we did
some practice film making. Before we started filming, Katie showed us some techniques. She showed us panning, zooming and tilting effects. Rhylee and I were the first to film the interview of  Charlie and Travis. 

When we finished filming, Travis and Charlie had their turn to film us completing an interview.

Some of the questions that Rhylee asked me were a bit hard and I felt put on the spot! (Some of us were stuttering for a few seconds.)

Next week we are going to edit our practice film and post it so you can have a sneak preview.

This purpose of this practice was so we know how to use the cameras, and next week, we will work out way through i-Movie editing.  We are going to start filming for real in Week 6/7.

The start of our screenplay...

Hi. Today the MADE Awards group started to write a screenplay for Bella the Bully-Proof Kid. A screenplay is like a script, but it includes all the detail of where your filming and the actions of the characters, as well as what they are saying to each other.  Katie gave us a copy of the screenplay for "The Lion King" We watched the opening scene - every single thing that happened on the screen, was written in the screenplay!

Here is a small bit of what we did today:

“Bella the Bully-Proof Kid”

By - Norton, Rhylee, Charlie and Travis

Norton=  Luna

Charlie=Billy

Travis=BJ

SCENE 1

EXT Waihopai School

Three children are standing in a circle out in a school playground.  BJ looks mad, BILLY and LUNA looked terrified! BJ is pushing at BILLY and LUNA.  The screen fades away as the title comes onto the screen. “ARE YOU BEING BULLIED?” 

It was really hard to try and think of the ideas for the script.  We will keep working on this next week.

Hello. Today for Talent Development we started planning for our MADE Awards commercial. We decided that we are going to do the Bully Proof Kid. Travis is going to play the part of the bully, Rhylee is going to be the Bully Proof Kid and Charlie and I are going to be the kids that get bullied. The message for our commercial is that bullying is NOT okay. 

One scene that we are planning on doing is where Travis is bullying Charlie on the soccer field, then Charlie pulls out his phone and texts Bella the Bully Proof Kid who flies in and saves the day.

Another scene is where Travis is trying to take 
my lunch. So I pull out my phone and text Bella the Bully Proof kid and she comes and saves the day again.

We are advertising Bella the Bully Proof Kid!  We think our commercial is going to be funny, but with a really good message in it.
