For the past 4 weeks, the students have been very busy making movies. The students came up with different ideas for movies and decided on making three. The students chose which movie they wanted to be part of and got straight into it.
Each group had to decide the ‘where, who and what’ of their movie; setting, characters, plot! This was a huge task which the students did really well. Everyone worked together to come up with (and agree) on what their movie would look like and then got started on the script, introducing dialogue and actions for the actors! A huge task!
Then the next step was creating and producing each movie in a short time frame. The students had the chance to act, direct, instruct, operate the camera and think about all the things that happen behind the scene to make a movie. Everyone had a lot of fun and are looking forward to entering the Manaiakalani Film Festival next year.
