Year 0-3THE DAY THE SNEAKY ANIMALS VISITED ROOM 6. Room 6, Winton School, Year 1. Teacher: Phillippa Gill
This project began as a shared writing exercise. We are learning how to use iPads to take photos and film. Our class wanted to create a final product to share with others.
It was an opportunity to have everyone involved, including some very shy boys. First, the class worked together on an original script. Planning, writing, proof reading, editing, publishing. Children were then assigned to characters and roles. Plenty of practise followed. With assistance from our Principal, most children had a turn at filming different scenes. After editing, one student narrated the story. They love their movie! DELLA THE PIRATE. Room 2, Makarewa School. Year 2.
At writing time we have been investigating how to write a really good character description. We all had to choose a character that we knew really well and using the criteria we wrote a description.
I chose to write about a pirate because I had been a pirate in my school production and I used this to inspire me to write about pirates. We have been investigating imovies, using green screening and simple acting as another way of sharing our writing with an audience. BABY MOSES TO THE BURNING BUSH. Samantha, Ella and Libby, St Thomas Aquinas. Year 3. Teacher: Summer Wilton.
We were learning to retell stories into our own words from the Bible. Our inquiry was about who and how people lived in the time of the old testament. We were learning about Moses and his journey. We used puppetpals. WE had tow rite down in our own words what we were going to record on the voice over of the programme. WE had to have one of us move the images, one needed to change the background and the other person spoke. WE took turns.
Year 4-6UNDER THE BRIDGE. Room 2&3, Lumsden School. Year 5&6.
This movie was created for the Green Screen Environmental film awards. The school had been studying the river and so the children decided to use that theme. They came up with the idea of looking at the past to see how rivers were used, and then to the future to see what impact we are having now. They provided some facts by including a mad professor which added a bit of humour to the project. They learnt how to do stop motion animation and ways of using a green screen. This was particularly useful when faced with several days of rain so filming had to happen inside. They found the software very easy to use and really rewarding as they originally thought green screen technology was complicated.
TE RAKITAMAU. Storm, Halfmoon Bay School. Year 6. Teacher: Kath Johnson.
Storm made this movie using iMovie and the green screen function for our unit 'Telling our Stories'. It was a long process from writing the script, casting the movie, organising costumes, props and the set, directing the movie and finally cutting the footage. During this unit we looked at legends from all around the world BUT especially or local Stewart Island/ Rakiura Maori legends. Storm's movie tells the story of how Stewart Island got the name Rakiura
MY TRIP TO DUNEDIN. Ella, Room 6, Makarewa School. Year 5. Teacher: Kylie Murcott.
The writing focus was to describe a place that they visited in the holidays using rich, descriptive language. They had to include a simile and use their senses to add detail and description.
The planning process included a senses chart, a circle map and a paragraph graphic organiser. Then a draft was written out, re-crafted and edited. Then they completed a piece of artwork that represents their place. The artwork was scanned into iPhoto, transferred into iMovie. They then recorded themselves reading their writing into iMovie, to create a digital story. Year 7&8JESUS WALKS ON WATER. Room 3, St Thomas Aquinas Winton. Year 7 and 8. Teacher: Joy Quinlan.
For our Bible stories inquiry in Term 3, we chose a Bible story, in groups, to retell and turn into a clamation style animation using the app ‘Smoovie’ on the iPads.
After we had chosen and read our bible story, we retold it in our own words. We used a storyboard planner to write our retells onto, as we broke each part into a different scene. We also drew a basic outline of what each scene would look like. Once our storyboards were complete, we had to sort out each member’s role. We had backgrounds to find and print, characters and props to be made from playdough and voice recordings to record, using the easi-speak microphones. The ‘filming’ process takes awhile. The filming is not really filming, as each scene is made up of a series of photos that are all put together at a certain speed. Once all of the scenes were ready, we had to put them together with our voice recordings, using moviemaker on the computer. We then had to split up scenes to slow them down or speed them up, making sure that our footage and recording for each scene were the same length. DAVID AND GOLIATH. Room 3, St Thomas Aquinas Winton.
