YAY we're finished

Here is a video about my fantabulous day!!!

Bully Proof kid

Welcome back to my blog Term 3 2013. Today at Enrich we FINALLY finished editing our MADE awards, "Commercial Bella the Bully Proof kid" It has came together much better that I thought it would!!! We have put in some special effects into it and we have also put in some voice effects e.g: Norton was on the phone so we put in a special voice effect so it sounds like she's on the phone. We also put in some titles and lucky last our credits. Now instead of worrying to get it finished my only hope is to WIN!!!  I learnt that it is a big process putting it all together but worth it in the end.

Typing is my worst enemy!!

YAY I'm finished my reflection FINALLY. That is why I haven't posted you anything for a few weeks.Anyway reflections are one of the worst parts of Enrich as they include typing, typing is my worst enemy. Today at Enrich we started filming our commercial Bella the Bully Proof Kid I had my amazing wand in my hand pressed the button ABRA-CADABRA-ALACAZOO I have just entered the world of Bella the Bully Proof Kid. I sat on my desk playing with my rubric cube and suddenly I received a phone call 'Hello Bella the Bully Proof Kid here where is your emergency?' It was very hard to keep a straight face especially when it's me! I'm a bit of a giggle-gert!!!

Acting out a clock!

PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTT...
What am I talking about? I don't know!!!

Today at Enrich we did two types of Drama: 'Spacial Drama' and 'Psychological Drama.' Spacial drama is when you use the space around you to act something out.  We did an activity called "Ten Seconds".  In my group of 3, we would have to act out whatever Nicola called out.  Our best one was acting out a clock!  Psychological drama is when you have to think to figure the activity out.  We did an activity called "There's only one liar".  We sat in a circle, closed our eyes, and then Nicola went around and tapped someone on the shoulder.  Next, we would open our eyes, and then we had to point to the person we thought got tapped.  Nicola tricked us!  The first round, she didn't tap anyone!  The last round, she tapped everyone, but we all pointed at someone else, so we were all liars today!  After morning tea, we did talent development, which is MADE Awards. We edited our interview footage from last week. I named mine "Interview with Goat and Sheep" and in the end for the credits I put "Starring Travis as Goat and Charlie as Sheep", because Katie said we could be as creative as we wanted to be, but not too silly. Overall today, I learnt a lot about editing in i-Movie!!!

Lights, Camera, Action!!! Today for Talent Development we did some practice filming for the MADE awards. We practiced going smoothly, from side to side. Norton and I were partners so we had to work together to film Travis and Charlie  doing an interview with ten easy questions. Then we had to swap over so Travis and Charlie filmed Norton and I while we did an interview. After that we imported our footage to i-Movie and then we will edit it next week. I can't wait to crack on into our real filming for our advertisement of...Bella The Bully Proof Kid.

EXT and INT???

Do you know what a screenplay is? I didn't but now I do. Let me tell you about it. It's a very detailed piece of planning and we've been working on ours for the MADE awards for about an hour!  A screenplay is the writing of a movie.  It helps to detail where the scene is going to be filmed, what action is going to happen, and what is being said between characters.  We looked at a copy of "The Lion King" and we watched the opening scene and looked at the screenplay while watching - everything matched! We started on our screenplay for Bella the Bully-Proof Kid.  Here is a wee bit of it:

Title - “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?” 

I don't want to give our story away, but we are making good progress!  Do you know what "EXT" means? It means the location for filming that scene is outside.  If it said "INT" that would mean it was being filmed inside!

Bella the Bully Proof Kid.

"What is your commercial going to be about?'' My brain started to think hard. I had lots of great ideas but as I was just about to blabber the best one out and then... crack my brain went blank. Beside me I had my workbook, my lifesaver. I pulled it up to me and saw THE BULLY PROOF KID. 'Yes' I thought. Then Katie sent us to do a picture plan. 'I want to be the bully proof kid' I said. 'I want to be a school student' said Norton. 'Same' said Charlie. That meant that Travis has to play the part of the bully!  I'm the bully proof kid. Katie asked me what my name should be and I said Bob, but she said 'Thats a boys name.' 'Then how about Bobbina?' 'That's a bit random!' she said. 'How about Bella?' 'Perfect' she said. So I'm Bella the Bully Proof Kid.  We are planning out how our commercial will go, so I will keep you posted!
