Section outline



  • Kia ora, welcome to week two. (The first full week of the term).  We are going to continue our work with camera angles and shots and also look at the use of audio/sound in visual texts.  The glossaries you are compiling will help you we we have a focussed viewing of the movie, and start to analyse the techniques the director has used to strengthen the messages and impact of the movie.  I have also booked us in to the library on Wednesday so we can select books for reading for pleasure.  It is important you continue reading for pleasure as it will make you a better reader, and writer! We will be going to the library as a class once a fortnight so get your thinking hats on about the genre and type of books you like to read so that I can help you select a book if you don't already have one in mind.
