Section outline

  • Term 2 (Week 7-25th-29th May 2020)

     

    Kia Ora Y9. from this week we start making our short film on ‘Environmental Sustainability.’ We have two weeks’ time to complete it. We will look at all the story boards of our group and select the best story for our film. Remember, this film is Term 2 Assessment and it will be a 360 degree assessment which means everyone in the group will grade everyone else so we all need to contribute 100%  to the film.

    Think of the following before you get started:

    -Are you all happy with the story or would you like to make some minor changes with the writer’s permission?

    -Are you all well versed & confident with the role assigned to you? If not, consult the group leader.

    -Think about the practicality of the film’s idea. Will you be able to shoot it at school? Would you need to go to other places to shoot? How will you manage that?

    -Is your props’ list ready? Do you have everything for your film?

    -Which camera/phone are you going to use to shoot the film? 

    Big Idea: Life After Lockdown

    PLAN & DO: 

    • We are PLANNING to construct  a Visual text (Short Film) so that we can demonstrate an understanding of the features of Visual Language
    • We are PLANNING to construct  a Verbal  text (Speech) so that we can demonstrate an understanding purpose and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form

    Success Criteria: I can….

    -apply the Film-Making Techniques in my own film such as Story/Plot, Themes, Characterisation, Dialogues, Camera Angles, Camera Shots Camera- Movements, Editing , Music, Sound etc.

     -think critically about texts (Film) with understanding & confidence and recognise, understand and consider how texts are constructed for a range of purposes, audiences, and situations (Environmental Sustainability)

    -construct texts (speech) that demonstrate an understanding of purpose (public speaking)  and audience through deliberate choice of content, language, and text form and can seek  feedback to make changes to texts to improve clarity, meaning, and effect

    -use a wide range of oral & written language features and an increasing range of vocabulary to communicate precise meaning & effect, to sustain interest and to achieve a sense of coherence when constructing texts

    -convey and sustain a personal voice where appropriate by being reflective about the production of my own texts: monitor and self-evaluate progress, articulate learning with confidence.
