Movie Making Process

My Interview On The Movie Makers

Room 8 got the chance to talk to some Movie makers who entered into a

competition and had unfortunately came third they had given us plenty of great advise on how to edit and make a good Movie.

Movie Evaluation

I think that a Tripod is the most important element to Movie making because ...

Without the Tripod the camera wouldn't be so steady and we need the Tripod for all the different angles and shots.

I put a flash camera and a range of different angles and shots second because. ...

We need a flash camera for a good quality of a Movie and we also need a variety of angles and shots for a good movie so it can be clear and it will make the movie a high standard.

I think the least important element is fancy costumes because. it doesn't really matter about what the actors are wearing just what is surrounding them that sets the scene..

Other important elements that aren't included here are.

Props -

props are important because you need them to set the surroundings of the Movie.

Setting-

Setting is important because you need to know where you’re going to set the Movie.

Make-up -

Make-up is important because the make-up makes the actors face look good and you will look nice for the Movie not really dirty and ugly. 

Special Effects-Special effects are important because special effects give a good effect on what your going to do or be.

My biggest light bulb moment while learning about Movie magic was when ...

We had worked together to make our script clear because we had used teamwork and also had a bit of fun.    

My Speech Reflection

How did you feel about presenting your speech to the class?

I had first felt very confident, but...

When I had finally got up there with my partner, Mavis and I had kinda got shy, but my friends had cheered me on to carry on. So I thank my friends. 

What was the hardest part about preparing a speech?

Well the hardest part for me and my partner was having to find all the information for our speech, and making the information our own words.

What did you enjoy most about speeches?

The team-work that we had done together (My partner and I.)

How could you improve your speech making next time?

Engage with my audience a bit more than I did before.

The Grand High Witch Description

As the Grand High Witch sneakingly slithered down the long dim dusty hall with her big black talons clinging to her hideous fat fingers as if they were dark black bats hanging from a tall brown brunch sleeping.She had an ugly saggy wrinkly face that had hundreds of moles and warts that had piled over each other like people shoving through a crowd screaming and fighting for their lives.

 Her voice had the sound of a big chested german man she had a squeak in that voice the sound of a mouse.Her voice was a commanding voice if she told you to do something you had better do it.

She had always repeated in here big german like voice “Listen you fat hideous vitches you need to understand the concept of vhat I am saying! You know vhat I am capable of!” and... “Those revolting little rats will all die!”

Layers of the earth

WALT-make a model of the layers of the earth out of play-dough.

So...that when we learn about natural disasters we can use our knowledge of the layers to understand them better.

To...help us in topic and science and learn about the earth around us.

The crust contains continents and seas.The thickness of the crust is 15-75km.

The next layer is the upper mantle.  It is 400km thick. It’s made out of iron, magnesium and silicates.

The lower mantle is more dense then the upper.  It is 2300km thick.

The outer core is a liquid.  It contains iron,nickel and sulphur.  The outer core is 2300km
deep.

The inner core is solid. It also contains iron, nickel and sulphur.  The inner cores temperature is 6650 degrees Celsius!
